    Kwara NLC and Syndromic One-Chance

    Recall that September 10 is the National Anti-Corruption Day. This day in a year is set aside reemphasize the harm that corruption has done; is doing; and will do to the nation's socio-political and economic sectors.

    It with this premise that the joint efforts of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) were sought to demonstrate the support of Nigeria workers to the posture of the President Mohammodu Buhari to fighting corruption.

    The NLC and TUC in Kwara State joined their counterparts in the states of the Federation to have a 'street-show' or a 'Freedom Walk' in their respective states. The properly disposition of Kwara workers to this gesture was evidence in the turnout for the rally that took off from the Kwara Labour House beside Kwara State High Court Ilorin at about 10am under the coordinator-ship of Comrade David Kayode Ehindero, the NLC State Treasurer.

    No fewer than 1,000 workers participated in the rally that draw its members from some NLC and TUC affiliate unions, Civil Society Organizations (CSO), National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN), National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS) among others.

     The 'Walk' started on a good note with high spirit and optimism until the hope of the 'Walkers' were dashed by the insensitivity of the Agunbiade-led NLC to the mood and diversities of the followers' aspiration as well as Yekeen Agunbiade's stereotypical-based speech at the state's government house.

    The 'Walker' who were evidently displeased by the NLC Chair's 'thank you' speech to the state governor on whatever began to sing songs like Iwo na l'owo n be/2ce Bi Nigeria se daru; gbogbo yin na l'owo n be. This practically put an end to the rally as no other person was neither allowed to talk nor the governor's representative allowed to deliver message.

    It was a Show of Shame Kwara, workers are highly disappointed.
