His statement came after the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) reached agreements with the federal government to suspend the planned strike that was scheduled for Wednesday.
In an interview on Channels TV, Ajaero confirmed the affiliation between the Labour Party and the NLC but contested the notion that the party sponsors the union.
He emphasised that the Labour Party is owned by the NLC, and no leader of the NLC can deny this fact. Ajaero acknowledged that during the analysis of the subsidy issue by various presidential candidates, the NLC was clear in its stance.
He recalled expressing his view that if the Labour Party candidate went against the demands and ideology of the Labour Movement, they would face repercussions.
Ajaero strongly rejected the idea that the Labour Party can dictate the actions of the NLC, calling it the worst insult anyone could make.
He emphasised that the formation of the Labour Party does not mean that it can act inappropriately or control the NLC. Ajaero asserted that the NLC determines a significant portion of what happens within the Labour Party.
He questioned the authority of the Labour Party and its candidate to tell the NLC what to do. Ajaero reaffirmed that the NLC's current actions regarding the fuel subsidy issue are consistent with their previous stance and efforts.
