Political tensions escalate between Osun State's All Progressives Congress and Nigeria Labour Congress over the ongoing National Union of Local Government Employees dispute. APC officials accused NLC Chairman Christopher Arapasopo of creating false security concerns while allegedly compromising his professional duties. The opposition party claims Arapasopo has prevented council workers from accessing cooperative funds and salary payments through manufactured excuses.
Party representatives challenged Arapasopo's selective application of security protocols and questioned his failure to address pension arrears and judicial worker welfare. APC leadership suggested the union chairman serves government interests rather than worker needs. Arapasopo rejected these characterizations and maintained that genuine safety threats exist due to political intolerance of his criticism.
The labor official cited previous incidents where party members allegedly damaged local government facilities and disrupted communities. He requested security agency intervention regarding what he described as surveillance activities and potential intimidation tactics. Both sides continue disputing the legitimacy of strike actions and underlying motivations.
