Nipples’ earliest recollection of Omooba Samuel Olumuyiwa Sosanya was a twain: one tall and dark, the other slight and fair; but both, as a tag team, always making regular sorties to the Bourdillon, Ikoyi, Lagos, home of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, now president of the Federal Republic.

It also raised alarm over the alleged hijack of the duties of the Ministry of Labour and Employment by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP, and the Federal Ministry of Justice.
But the Presidency in a swift reaction, said President Bola Tinubu is concerned about economic hardship in the country and is working hard to ameliorate the situation.

NLC President, Mr Joe Ajaero, issued the threat while responding to the advice of the Director, Trade Union Services, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Emmanuel Igbinosun, that Labour should explore due process in its agitations before embarking on strike.
Igbinosun gave the advice in his remarks at the on-going African Trade Union Alliance meeting holding in Abuja.
