…why ogun frontman is keen to avert another workers’ unrest

Information filtering in revealed that Governor of Ogun state, Ibikunle Amosun and workers in his domain are currently engaged in a behind the scene negotiation.

But those who should known labelled the ongoing happenstance as ‘’cat and mouse talks’’.

The two parties are operating in an uneasy atmosphere.

According to information available the governor is keen to prevent any form of unrest in his state based on the need to project the perfect image to the presidency.

Their closeness is said to date back to days as fellow party men in the defunct All Nigeria People’s Party.

‘’As point man of the President, Gov Amosun needs to be seen as the proper agent of change as a person and with his style of governance..workers unrest, strikes and such do not fit into that profile’’ a source pointed out.

‘’Governor Amosun is known for his hard man posture with issues..but he is being careful in this instance not to take a step that would result in heavy image denting blow back’’ another source pointed out.

Societynowng.com further learnt the labour leaders currently negotiating with him are aware of this development, but are equally being careful not to push him too much and create a dare it all scenario.
