He urged the federal government to address the issue of hunger rather than arresting Nigerians.

Ologunagba's comments came in the wake of the arrest of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President, Joe Ajearo.

He stated, “There is need for caution. There was a protest in this country, the government did not do anything. You arrest some people and said they were terrorists and you charge them to court. You say some people were the sponsors of the protest."

He further added, “We know those who sponsored the protest. The sponsor is hunger. The President and his people should arrest hunger and there will be no problem. Let your policies that are draconian, that are bringing people to their knees. This is the season schools are resuming, we know what people are going through.”
