Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has promised it will not keep silent in the face of electoral malpractices.
The new NLC President, Joe Ajaero, who spoke in Lagos, said anybody that does what is not in order will receive the union’s stern rebuke. He said: “If anything happens to the contrary, people may react and resist it. And the NLC, under our watch, will not keep quiet in the face of any electoral malpractice. We want to know how the elections are conducted, how things are done and we want to ensure that things are done well. That is exactly what will happen.
“It is not always that we will be on the streets. But if there is a need for it, we will be on the streets. And we are ready to pay the price, no matter how high, to make sure that Nigeria gets better.
“None of us wants the election to be rigged. All of us want free, fair and credible elections where the will of the people will prevail.”
