President Bola Tinubu has expressed his deepest grief over the passing of elder statesman, Comrade Ali Chiroma.
Comrade Chiroma was former President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and had held various positions within the trade union hierarchy.
In a statement on Wednesday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the President sympathized with the Chiroma family, the organized labour community, and everyone impacted by the painful loss.
Recalling the endeavours of the former labour leader at a trying time in the life of the nation, President Tinubu affirms that Comrade Chiroma stood up for the independence of the NLC and doggedly defended the downtrodden when it mattered the most.
The President prays to Almighty Allah to grant repose to the soul of the departed while assuring the family of the elder statesman of his thoughts and prayers in this moment of grief.
