This error usually occurs because we try to change UILabel text after the view is loaded. Remember that UILabels once loaded in the view cannot be changed in any way they can only be set within viewdidload() function. You can check this by putting your text assigning code in the viewDidLoad() function which will set UILabels when loading the view, It will work.
But now if your application is built in such a way that it is setting UILabels after the view is loaded then the only solution is that you will need to create UILabels dynamically/Programatically where ever you want in the code and assign what ever you want because they will be created/instantiated with that text/label.
