Clash ensued between the labour leader and the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption during its meeting in Lagos on Tuesday.
According to Premium Times report, the clash occurred when the Acting Secretary of the TUC, Simeso Amachree, suggested the workers’ union should incorporated into the committee.
He said the Committee’s task would be more effective if they include one member each from his union, the Nigerian Labour Congress, and the civil society, adding that organised labour has the structures to enable their work reach millions of Nigerians.
Another unionist, Adekola Adetomiwa of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, added that for labour leaders to key into the anti-corruption fight, they “need to be carried along.”
The suggestions irked members of the anti-corruption committee.
Femi Odekunle rejected the suggestion, describing “people parading themselves as labour leaders” as “corrupt and compromised.”
