The Special Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State on Labour Affairs, Comrade Bayo Titilola Sodo has said it is wrong for the Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai to sack some workers in the state.
Sodo, who is the immediate past Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Oyo State, made this disclosure while speaking with journalists in Ibadan on Wednesday.
DAILY POST recalls that El-Rufai on Tuesday announced the sack of lecturers at the Kaduna State University who joined the ongoing labour protest in the state.
But, the former NULGE President while featuring at an interactive session organized by the Oyo State Council, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), insisted that Kaduna State is not the property of the Governor, hence it was wrong for him to sack workers without due process.
IPOB PRESS RELEASE
We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), ably led by our prophet and liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, condemn in very strong terms, the incessant arrest and humiliation of newspaper vendors as well as the harassment of journalists by the Nigeria security operatives for writing or distributing Biafra, IPOB or ESN-related news materials. This is wickedness and a calculated attempt to suppress the press.
It’s a global embarrassment that the Nigeria security agents will be hunting for newspaper vendors and journalists in Imo State and other Biafran cities for committing no crime other than writing or distributing news contents that affect Biafra, IPOB or ESN. How many times have the security agents harassed any journalist or newspaper vendor in the North for writing about Boko Haram or Fulani bandits?

The protesters who stormed the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ogun State, accused some leaders of the APC in Abeokuta South LGA of imposing a chairmanship candidate on them.
They carried placards with various inscriptions such as “We Say No To Money Bags In Abeokuta South” and “Let Party Members Pick Who They Want”, and said their preferred aspirant was Farouk Akintunde.
One of the party leaders who led the protest, Balogun Ololade, urged Gov Dapo Abiodun to intervene in the matter “to save democracy from jeopardy.”
