Speaking on Channels TV, Olayinka revealed that 10 of the 14 worker demands were already met through talks before the strike began.
He questioned why slogans like “Abuja is not Rivers” and “Wike must go” were suddenly shouted, insisting these political chants derail the protest’s original purpose. He also accused the Nigeria Labour Congress of siding with opposition politics instead of mediating fairly.
Olayinka disclosed that union leaders refused to attend a final meeting meant to end the strike, deepening the crisis. “You’re on strike for your welfare, not to make political statements,” he warned.
