A presidential aspirant in the 2023 elections, Omoyele Sowore, has promised to join the police in solidarity if they go on strike.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Sowore, in a post on his official Facebook page on Monday, said security agents in Nigeria deserve better pay and treatment.
“I will join the Nigeria Police Force strike if it is going ahead! I’ve seen those guys, especially the junior ones suffer like slaves!” he said.
Despite efforts by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba to dissuade junior police officers from embarking on strike, the cops have said there is no going back on the planned industrial action.
According to the junior officers, the strike would commence on March 26 — the same day chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would gather in Abuja for their national convention.
According to an open letter addressed to the Inspector General, the officers said they would not accept any pay rise below N100,000 monthly.
The strike, which they said was long overdue, had now become an option due to what they called the “lackadaisical attitude of the police authorities in representing us before the Federal Government.”
“especially the junior ones suffer like slaves!” he said.”.
HE WE GO AGAIN, THE LOUSY IDLE INTERLOPER CALLING OFFICERS OF THE NPF, SLAVES.
Sowore needed call Police officers SLAVES to curry their sympathy.
