The Labour Union says its protest billed to hold February 27 and 28 will hold as planned.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, Labour President, Mr. Joe Ajaero, said the union was concerned by the unsolicited advice of the State Security Service, SSS, to shelve its planned protest against the unprecedented high cost of living, in spite of the suffering in the land, spiralling inflation, deepening poverty and the Naira at an exchange rate of N1,900 to the US Dollar.

He advised the SSS to focus their attention on the arrest of some elements he says, who are planning to use the opportunity of the protest to foment crisis and by extension, widespread violence.
He added that the Congress is intrigued by the innuendos of the Service, their philosophy of “peace”, and what he called, wild allegations, stressing that no one loves the country more than the labour congress which will, he says, never do anything that will compete with its sovereignty or security.
