Ajaero, however, clarified during an interview with ARISE NEWS on Friday that such a course of action would not be possible as no NLC president has the power to unilaterally call for a strike without going through the proper procedures, which involve convening meetings with the Central Working Committee (CWC) or the National Executive Council (NEC).
He said, “Now, the issue. You said I didn’t announce that NLC will go on strike. Every organisation has their modus operandi, and the NLC president at no time will have rights or powers to say there would be strike tomorrow. We have our own initial and administrative process of conveying a meeting at the nearest possible time where a decision on the next line of action will be taken. No NLC president will come out and say we are going to start strike tomorrow or next tomorrow, without the organs meeting. In most instances, either the CWC or the NEC and we are following that process. By next week, we should be able to meet and have conversations around this.”
