Nigeria Labour Congress
under the leadership of Comrade Ayuba Wabba, has condemned the recent coup attempt in Turkey by a section of the army known as “ “Peace at Home Movement” even as it urged the country’s President to put in place good governance.
NLC expressed dismsy over the last Friday ‘s failed coup which claimed over 290 lives (including 161 government forces and civilians) along side colossal infrastructural damage.
In a statement signed by the National President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, the union noted that whatever reason cited by the officers is no justification for the attempt to change a democratically elected government through gun running .
The Statement read in parts “ The officers cited as reason for the coup , the need to “reinstate constitutional order, human rights and freedom, the rule of law and general security that was damaged” We at the Nigeria Labour Congress condemn this coup attempt, the reasons adduced by the officers notwithstanding.
However the Labour Union also used yhe opportunity to caution the Turkish government, the President, Mr Recep Tayyip Erdogan in particular to look inwards and find out where he has failed his citizens and retrace his steps.
