You’ve Turned Yourself To Adeleke’s Vuvuzela, APC blasts Osun NLC Chairman

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has berated the state chairman of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Christopher Arapasopo, for allegedly turning himself to the political chief campaigner of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Governor Ademola Adeleke.

APC said that Arapasopo featured on a popular radio programme it monitored in Osogbo, on Friday , where he was allegedly busy campaigning for the second term ambition of Governor Ademola Adeleke.

According to a statement signed by the APC Director of Media and Information, Mogaji Kola Olabisi, alleged that Osun NLC Chairman while featuring on the radio programme called the party unprintable names throughout the duration of the programme further enjoined the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) to continue with the ongoing seven-month-old strike.

APC said “It is obvious that the state NLC under the leadership of Arapasopo has confirmed the public suspicion that the supposed organized labour union has turned itself into an arm of the PDP in the state.

“Why would it be the preoccupation of a labour leader to flagrantly jettison labour-related issues that are beneficial to the welfare of his members and prioritize the defence of the government of the day?

“The attraction for Arapasopo to have offered to compromise his integrity, if at all he has any, for frivolous political consideration is an attestation to the fact that the political scoundrel is a monumental misfit for the leadership of the labour union in Osun State.

“One wonders if Arapasopo has forgotten that his leadership of the labour union is not eternal, unaware that history would be unkind to him at the end of his tenure.

“We as a party are cautioning Arapasopo to desist from hiding under the statutory refuge of the labour leadership to turn himself into the megaphone of Governor Adeleke for whatever might have been the personal irresistible attraction.

“It should dawn on the pliable state labour leader that it could be irredeemably dangerous for a fly not to know when to beat a retreat in the journey of a corpse to the metaphorical grave.

“It is foolhardy for any rational human being to inherit another man’s enemy for any reason which is what is playing out in the needless war that Arapasopo has been hiding under the leadership of the supposed organized labour to wage avoidable war against the APC.”
