AGAINST the backdrop of the threat by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, to embark on a three-day warning strike from Wednesday, should the Federal Government fail to implement a new minimum wage, President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, assured that the government would take some critical steps to meet the demand of labour over the N18,000 minimum wage. The President, however, stressed that he could not do anything about the new wage implementation immediately as the issue had to pass through all the sections of government as specified by law.

In this part, Okunnu places so much store by the relationship between him and the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, after which he dropped a bomb shell: “Obasanjo got drunk with power”. He said much more.
