The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has said that organised labour has used its ultimate weapon by calling the ongoing warning strike in the state, saying it would still not make his administration shift ground.
The governor disclosed this on Tuesday in an interview in Kaduna while reacting to the five-day warning strike by labour unions in the state that had entered second day.
According to him, “the state government will not change its position.”
The governor claimed that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has committed offences bordering on economic sabotage, hence, the government had issued an order for arrest of NLC President, Ayuba Wabba.
“Anyone who sees the NLC president should report to the nearest police station or report to us. He will be prosecuted for economic sabotage,” he said.
Meanwhile, hours after the governor declared the NLC president wanted, Wabba dared him to come and arrest him.
Wabba said in an interview with journalists while leading thousands of workers in protest on the streets of Kaduna metropolis.
‘We are here and waiting for them to arrest me,” he declared.
