Veteran Nigerian entertainer Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has threatened to lead a group of bikers to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) if the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and other organized labor unions call off the ongoing strike.

The staunch supporter of the Labour Party made this threat in a post on Instagram following a meeting between organized labor and the federal government.

"If NLC no f*** up and cancel this strike by next week. I go mobilize 90% of Nigeria Power Bikers. We go storm Abuja, if Heaven go fall or the devil go land.
We will say, bring it on," he wrote in a post that has since generated mixed reactions.

Some indications organized labor may end the strike after a 6-hour marathon meeting with the federal government.

The Tinubu-led administration expressed its commitment to labor, stating that it can afford a minimum wage of about N60,000.

The meeting took place in the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on Monday, June 3.

After extensive deliberations, several key resolutions were reached.
