The leadership of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed workers to picket all offices of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) nationwide starting from next week, over the lingering cash crunch in the country.

The NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, gave the directive while addressing a press conference in Abuja, on Wednesday.

The labour leader said the directive became imperative following the expiration of one week ultimatum given to the apex bank to make cash available for Nigerians.

The NLC last week gave the CBN and commercial banks a one week ultimatum to make naira notes available to workers and Nigerians.

The Congress said it would direct workers to stay at home if the apex bank fails to make the Naira notes available to Nigerians.

The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi has officially filed petitions at the presidential election tribunal.

Obi filed the petition to challenge the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.

The former Anambra State governor lost the presidential election after he came third.

Obi trailed Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and winner, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

But, he had faulted the process of the election that led to Tinubu’s emergence as president.

He had vowed to challenge the process that led to the outcome of the election because he was robbed of his victory.

Spokesman of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, disclosed the submission of the petition.

“It is official the Labor Party Presidential candidate Peter OBI has filed his petition to the presidential elections tribunal in Abuja. The process of reclaiming the people’s mandate has started,” he said.
