Description
FRANK KOKORI: THE STRUGGLE FOR JUNE 12 is a hone; historical account of the involvement of Comrade Kokori in the democratic struggle in Nigeria. In the book, the trade union leader could not hide his contempt for Labour and political leaders who’ embraced opportunism in place of principle, and allowed corrupt ' military dictators to truncate democracy in Nigeria. However, through the book, Comrade Kokori has demonstrated the capacity of the progressive extraction of the trade union movement to liberate the country from imperialism and its local lackeys in the political and business sectors.
