 You're welcome back. Yesterday there was a protest in Imo State by the NLC, in spite of the court injunction placed against that. They held their protest in Imo and the President Joe Agiro was said to have been arrested and allegedly brutalized by security operatives. We have Mr Chris Oñeca, Assistant General Secretary of NLC here, to give us first-hand information of what really happened in Imo State. Good morning and welcome to the program Mr Oñeca. Okay, so let's hear first-hand what happened in Imo State and what the way forward is because of time. Let's group all this together. I did hear that question very well. Tell us what really happened in Imo State yesterday and what the way forward for NLC is. Can you hear me now? The decisions of governments that are in the nation cannot work. The one that was released in May, who made the decision to move to Imo State and to take governance on special duties, one in the country, one in the region, three in the country. I'm talking about the police, Nigeria, against the Nigerian workers and their leadership. That is unacceptable. That is unacceptable in Nigeria. In the colonial times, it never happened. In the military, it never happened. This is the first time it happened in Nigeria. And it never happened to us. We have to take steps to ensure that it never repeats itself. And that was what I'm going to say. Okay, but NLC was threatening that if Agiro is not released, the president is not released, there's going to be a strike. Everybody was put on alert. He has been released now, I take it. And what is the way forward, after what happened? The way forward is simple and stress. The president was beating our heart out loud to take steps to ensure that the president is in good health. If anything happens to the president, after the birth of that, the president will not. And the Nigerians will not. And the Nigerians will not. And the Nigerians will not. And the Nigerians will not. And the Nigerians will not. Of three weeks. And the general congress will meet in the first to decide on the way forward. I would like to mention of the next of NLC and TEC that may happen on Monday or Tuesday. And that particular item will decide on the way forward. And when they are taking a decision we will let Nigerians know. But one thing is for sure that if what happened on Monday or Tuesday will not go upon this. It will not go on consequences. There will be consequences. And that is assurance. But did the government or the governor make any statement? Did the governor make any statement to NLC? Was there any comments from government house? We are not interested in any comment the governor is going to make because the only comment he will make will be lies. Just like the police will also teach you of lies to just come up and defend themselves. But I am a little witness and I witness because I was there from beginning to the end. We were in our house in our own secretaries. The police came to attack us. The police came to attack us in our own secretaries. The police came to attack us. They are not abomination. They are not acceptable. We protect ourselves legally and we kill the traditions. And we protect ourselves in other religions. Okay, Mr. Onyeka, we would like to thank you for your time this morning. We know that you are travelling. We hope and pray for journey messes to you. Thank you so much for your time. We are talking with the assistant general secretary NLC, Mr. Chris Onyeka who was bringing us up to speed. What happened in Imo State yesterday? He confirmed that the president of NLC was attacked or was arrested, assaulted and we've seen some pictures to buttress that fact. And he has said that the NLC and TUC will have a joint meeting on Monday or Tuesday to decide on the next action. But he said emphatically that this action will not go without consequences. I wonder what those consequences will be. And it's also a very dicey situation for the governor of Imo State who already had issues even coming into office. And now, a few days just about 10 days to election in that state where he is seeking re-election. This is happening. That is really a bad name. I don't know how he's going to navigate the waters but he really needs to work really an extra hard to make sure that November 11 goes his way. Otherwise this is very denting. I must say. What about the demands of NLC are true or not but maybe he could have handled it a little bit better. But let's see how it goes. November 11 there is going to be elections in Imo State. There's also going to be election in Kogi and then Bael Sa State on the same day. And for these INEC has been given a whopping 8 billion to prepare for the election in these three states. And people were asking the question the 400 billion that was given to them in the first place that they use it for. And if they need to take another 8 billion for off-circle elections is that not ridiculous? There are a lot of things that came up that people began to talk about one of which is that the president is muting is just thinking about buying a yacht for himself in Abuja. I wonder what the yacht will be doing in Abuja or will they keep it in Lego State for him to come and cruise is that not supposed to be something personal if you want to buy a yacht or you want to cruise or you want to take a holiday how many presidents even take holidays for that long that they need to go on a cruise they need to rest on you know but a yacht for 5 billion the same amount of money that was budgeted for education for student loans 5 billion for student loans, 5 billion for a yacht to be used in Abuja. I don't know how many rivers we have in Abuja that the yacht can take or whether it's going to be in Benway or Niger or Lego State well, we'll take a short break and when we return we will be looking at or we will be listening to the stories of people who survived sex trafficking stay with us
