Osun APC warns NLC against strike and bank picketing

Osun State’s APC warned the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) against holding a three-day sympathy strike or picketing UBA branches over a dispute concerning local government allocations. The state NLC, led by Christopher Arapasopo, plans to strike from November 8 to 11, 2026, and begin picketing on November 12. APC media director Kola Olabisi called the proposed actions illegal and urged security agencies to prevent disorder and prosecute those responsible. The party said the dispute should be handled through legal and administrative channels, and that allocations should go to the councils in line with the Supreme Court judgment on local government autonomy.
