President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sympathises with the labour movement and the civil society on the passing of renowned unionist and rights activist, Comrade Abiodun Aremu, who died on Sunday in Ota, Ogun State.
The President also condoles the family, friends and associates of the departed labour activist.
President Tinubu describes Comrade Aremu as a committed fighter who devoted his time, energy, and resources to empowering workers and enhancing their rights in Nigeria.
The President particularly commiserates with the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), and the broader civil society community on the loss of one of their most consistent partners in the quest for a better life for all workers.
“He was a courageous comrade who remained steadfast in his beliefs and never wavered in his defence of the oppressed.
“Aremu was a teacher, an organiser, a conscience of the people. He shaped minds and inspired generations of Nigerians on integrity, justice and patriotism.
“The nation has lost a selfless patriot and a tireless fighter for the common good,” the President remarks.
President Tinubu prays for the repose of Aremu’s soul and strength for his family and loved ones.
