“The labour movement is worth dying for because of the patriotism and commitment. Labour movement is one of the biggest pan Nigeria organisations, our patriotism from the days of colonial government to even the period of the military is unshakable,” Ajaero said.
“We are more patriotic than any other institution you can think of in this country and we are going to continue to be that. We have gone there and we are back, I just want to confirm to you that as a citizen we have gone there and we are back here.

The NLC leader was summoned to address allegations of involvement in terrorism financing, cybercrime, subversion, criminal conspiracy, and treasonable felony.
He characterized the police invitation as one of the risks inherent in being a labour leader, recalling his own experiences with detention under the late General Sani Abacha in the 1990s.
Ajaero emphasized that his primary focus now is to resume the fight for better welfare for Nigerian workers, asserting, “we will not be swayed by any distractions.”
He expressed gratitude to the NLC members at the headquarters and across the country for their strong show of solidarity.
He departed from the police Intelligence Response Team headquarters at around 11:15 a.m. after providing his statement.
