The Rights Monitoring Group (RMG) has accused the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar, of acting a political script by calling for the removal of chairman of the of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Maurice Iwu.

National coordinator of the group, Olufemi Aduwo, told our correspondent in Abuja yesterday that it is wrong for Omar to make such calls because of the recent Anambra governorship election, which his preferred candidate lost.

"You cannot be a judge in your case. Nobody would care if Omar in person joins Labour Party to demand for a redress in his vested interest, but using NLC for this purpose is a breach of public trust. What should Nigerians make of NLC as an observer in the last Anambra election and its infamous endorsement of a candidate in that election?

"What should Nigerians make of the leadership of the NLC when individuals and groups commended INEC and Nigerians for the election, but NLC chose to undermine the progress recorded by mobilizing for the removal of INEC chairman," Aduwo said.

Its appalling how these guys hail DORA but attack a repentant IWU who conducted a "fair" (s)election just last month ago in Anambra State.

Different standard for different public servants indeed.

THE NLC PRESIDENT SHOULD STRIVE TO IMPROVE WORKING CONDITIONS OF WORKERS & NOT DABBLING INTO POLITICS UN-INVITED. HE HAS NOT MADE ANY REASONABLE IMPACT SINCE ASSUMPTION OF OFFICE.

He might be working for himself; you never can tell.
