Peoples Democratic Party Action Movement, PAM, a group that is working for the socio-eonomic wellbeing and overall development of Ogun state has condemned the arrest of the leaders of the labour in Ogun State. In a release signed by Alh. Lukman Adunmo, Publicity Secretary, Ag. said it is barbaric and unacceptable that some Labour leaders carrying out their demonstrations due to the government's failure to remit their co-operative deductions are being attacked by agents of the government.
As this continues to dominate the socio-political discourse in Ogun, PAM said “it will be a disservice to the good people of the state and the entire civil service not to react to the happenings in the state particularly as it concerns the workers”.
The group said "it's inhuman and insensitive for the highly productive and dedicated workforce of the State to be so brutalized and arrested simply because the leaders of the labour movement are demanding for what rightfully belong to them which the Senator Ibikunle Amosun led government has unlawfully withheld for over a period of 7months".
The PDP group said “It is very pathetic to wake up to the reality of a total ground to a halt of the government activities across the state from health services in public hospitals, public schools and activities in and around the Judiciary as these have permeated into other sectors of the state including petty trading. This ugly development has culminated into a sudden collapse of various economic and commercial activities within Ogun state, as all spheres of our socio-economic life have been halted and dealt with by this avoidable strike action embarked upon by the state workforce”.
