Asiwaju Bola Ahmed, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, took the unusual step Friday of intervening in the Nigeria Labour Congress protest by visiting the NLC leaders right in their Labour House in Abuja, to appeal for an end to the strike.

Tinubu, accompanied by some officials of the APC and Governor Rauf Aregbesola, said he came on behalf of his party, the Buhari government to appeal to the labour leaders to end the strike and return to the negotiating table.

In a move designed clearly to massage the ego of the labour leaders, since the strike was largely ignored in many parts of Nigeria, Tinubu urged Labour to employ anger management in resolving the disagreement over the fuel price increase.

Tinubu explained the reason for the fuel price increase and said it was done in the best interest of Nigeria as it would allow investors to come into Nigeria to build refineries.

He contrasted the policy to the step taken by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2012, when he set up SURE-P in 2012. The APC leader said what was sure of the SURE-P was corruption.

He said the Buhari administration would not follow the same path. He urged labour leaders to repose trust in the Buhari administration as it is one of integrity and honesty.

“This President is genuine. This decision was the only one left. Buhari has integrity and a character that is reliable”, Tinubu said.

Speaking further,he said....

“I cannot say we work from a distant, I cannot say I was  not a part of what is happening today. I can only say I noticed the communication gap".

"I cannot say you are the enemies of progress of the country, today we came in to appeal to you, and go back to history, we worked real hard to bringing  Nigeria on a progressive path".

“For me progressive governance is all we care about. 
“Mr. President, the former president, our senators are here only to make clear that you are not the enemy and you will never be the enemy of what is progressive".

“Why should we continue, problems after problem, conflict after conflict?”

“Without your support, without your participate we would not have won this election".



In a response, Ayuba thanked Tinubu for his intervention and promised to take the appeal to the affiliates of the NLC. He said the NLC was not opposed to negotiation with government.

Hypocrisy @ it's peak..

If una no see wailers go shout say dem don use and dump am..

Now he is on the news..u re asking foolish question

hypocrisy where and how? The greatest problem Africa has is leadership and followership problem, People lead any how without accountability and sense of responsibility and people follow any how without directon. I ask, in what capacity is tinubu meeting with the NLC? As the President or minister of labor or minister of petroleum, or what official position?

what position does tinubu hold in this country that gives him power to talk on behalf of the fed govt.what is the work of the ministers,sgf.smh for this country.he shouldn't be talking abt corruption when is the father.

So National chairman of APC has now taken over the position of our President and ministers?

APC hahaha

Amazing session and intervention

.

[size=28pt]Nigerian dont want subsidy any more.. Tinubu is 419, Tinubu is the one who need subsidy.. He own oando oil. So his company want subsidy from the government. No nigerian have ever receive subsidy. except for tinubu and his friends.

Subsidy means, nigerian government is suppose to send Bank check of N145 per litre to each nigerian.
Meaning all of the 200 million people of nigeria. were suppose to be paid bank check of N145 per litre , sent to their houses.
But nigerian never got any check in their mail. Only tinubu and his friends were paid subsidy, how can you call that a subsidy. . No nigerian ever got paid. it is just a 419 scam by tinubu and his friends.

Nigerian are already paying the same price , they pay in new york for oil.. Nigeria should not peg the price any more. Let the people pay what ever price.. instead of given tinubu and his friends subsidy.

The price of a litre of petrol in new York is about N180 +-

So it does not make sense to peg the litre any more.

The issue workers want to hear is salary increase. There is a need to increase salary. To reduce suffering.

How many people use a car, less 1% of the population. You are making the poor suffer to make rich car owners Iive well, that does not look nice.

If you allow oil companies to determine the price. It is the best. You can't make 1% be happy to discomfort 99% .

What is the different between N180 and 145.

Let oil marketer determine the price.
While people salary should be double.

oil subsidy is about corruption. that why they are not protesting.. They dont want the government to peg the price of petrol any more. They just want the government to leave the business of regularity the oil industry. And take its hand of the business.

So jagaban still dey hold meetings?
