The Osun State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has ordered its members working in local government areas across the state to withdraw their services, effective Monday, February 17, 2025. The decision comes amid escalating political tensions between Governor Ademola Adeleke and the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the reinstatement of local government chairmen and councillors.
In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by the state NLC Chairman, Dr. Christopher Arapasopo, the union expressed concerns over the safety of its members due to the ongoing political unrest.
“The Nigeria Labour Congress has observed the ongoing political unrest, which has caused agitation and fear among our members working in local government areas across the state,” the statement read.
