The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has blasted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the arrest of Nigerians by security operatives.
DAILY POST reports that the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero, was on Monday arrested by men of the Department of State Service, DSS, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Reacting to the development a press conference in Abuja, Debo Ologunagba, PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, blamed Tinubu for the arrests.
DAILY POST recalls that some Nigerians had between August 1 and 10 taken to the streets in many cities to protest against hardship in the country.
“There is a need for caution. There was a protest in this country, the government did not do anything. You arrest some people and say they were terrorists and you charge them to court. You say some people were the sponsors of the protest.
“We know those who sponsored the protest. The sponsor is hungry. The President and his people should arrest hunger and there will be no problem. Let your draconian policies bring people to their knees. This is the season schools are resuming, we know what people are going through,” PDP spokesman said.
