President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero has assured Nigerians that the body would not compromise on patriotism, no matter the challenge it faces.
Ajaero said this on Thursday while addressing a crowd of union members who gathered at the NLC headquarters to welcome him after honouring an invitation by the police
The NLC leader was invited to answer questions on alleged involvement in terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony.
He described the police invitation as one of the hazards of being a labour leader, recalling how even at unit level, he was thrown into detention during General Sani Abacha Military regime.
Ajaero said the most important thing at the moment was that he is back to continue the struggle of demanding better welfare for the Nigerian workers .
He thanked the NLC members gathered at the headquarters and others across the country for the level of solidarity they have shown thus far
His invitation by the police last week had attracted a lot of reactions, with the labour accusing the police of harassment.
