“During our meeting with the president, we complained about the high cost of governance. We told him that when he appoints ministers, they will appoint SSAs.
"And the SSAs will also appoint SSAs. But the president said that the labour should look at it from the point of job creation. But we did not agree with that."
He revealed that President Tinubu confessed to them that he had reduced his fleet of cars and even offered to use his private jet rather than the presidential jet.
Ajaero said the Tinubu appealed to them that he was trying to cut the cost of governance in his administration as much as possible.
He said:
“He took his own case for example. He told us that if you come to his fleet of cars, that it was large and he made efforts to reduce it and he was told that it’s a security issue.
“He equally went further to say that he prefers to use his own private jet and they told him no, it’s a security issue, he must use the government jet. And he went further to say, even himself, that he’s using only a two-bedroom flat.
“That he’s trying as much as possible to tighten his belt and he will try as much as possible to talk to his people working with him. So, I don’t know what that means.”
Subsidy removal: President Tinubu’s withdraws suit against NLC, gives reason
Meanwhile, the federal government has made a U-turn regarding its legal action against organised labour and its leaders.
On Monday, FG withdrew its lawsuit against the NLC and the TUC for embarking on a protest against the high cost of living occasioned by the fuel subsidy removal.
The government announced the withdrawal of the suit five days after filing it against the labour leaders, noting it was no longer valid.
