The Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has vowed that Comrade Ayuba Wabba and other labour leaders will never return to Kaduna by the time his government is done with them.

The protest of the organised labour in Kaduna is in its third day.

Governor El-Rufai, who stated this while addressing the 23rd Annual Tax Conference organised by the The Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN) in Kaduna on Wednesday, described the labour leaders as “criminals”.

He said actions of the labour union under the auspices of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which prevented businesses like banks, petrol stations and others from opening is criminal, illegal and the government will deal with “the criminals”.

The Governor pointed out that his government was not against the right of workers to embark on strike, but such workers must walk out of their work place and allow it to function without them.

While he emphasized that workers or their unions do not have the right to stop any business or government establishment from opening, El-Rufai said those responsible for such were liable to be convicted on the Miscellaneous Offences Act, which attracts a minimum penalty of 21 years imprisonment.

He then apologised to the gathering on any inconvenience suffered due to the strike, saying, “All those that have broken the law to the fullest extent will never come back to the state again by the time we are done with them.”

According to him, “There are efforts to prevent legitimate business to open, there are efforts to prevent banks from opening and also preventing petrol stations from dispensing fuel, this is totally criminal and illegal and we are going to take action.

“We are making efforts to provide security for all businesses that will wish to remain open.

“We are not against the right to strike, you are free to strike, but walk away from your institution and allow it to function without you.

“You have no right to stop any business from remaining open and we are going to take very strict measures against people that have tried to do that.

“What this strike is about is to answer fundamental questions, the first of which is this; should an employer, keep person of poor education, inadequate skills, qualifications and bad work attitude in employment, whether he likes it or not? Our answer in Kaduna state is in the negative.

“We, as the employer, are in a contract of employment with the employee and if he is not up to scratch, we will let him go and that is included in our contact of service.

“The second question is this, is the right to protest or to withdraw your services of an employee equivalent to the right to destroy the institution in which you work; shut it down or attack public infrastructure?

“Our position is very clear, law is very clear, you can walk out, you can strike, but you cannot shut anything down.

“Public infrastructure is a public asset belonging to the federation which belongs to all the people in Nigeria and you have no right to shut it down and if you do, you are liable to be convicted on either the Miscellaneous Offences Act which attracts a minimum penalty of 21 years imprisonment.”

According to him, “I want to assure you that we will break the strike and deal with the criminals, prosecute all those that have broken the law to the fullest extent and I assure you that they will never come back to the state again by the time we are done with them.”

This man heart dey back

This is somebody by tomorrow one idiot godfather will applaud Nigerians to vote for.

fuckingAyaya:
This man heart dey back

Very wicked idiot!

This may be unpopular.

But should the striking workers shut down banks, hospitals and other essential institutions thereby causing more pains to the masses?

El-Rufai may appear tyrannical but then the actions of the Labour Union if not well coordinated may eventually bring resentment from the masses towards them. That's the emotion El-Rufai is whipping and they had better watch it.

This dwarf think he is God.
HellRufai godfather of thugs

HellRufai the tyrant.

The is the bloodclat that some cretins are rooting for to be the President.

If anything happens to Wabba Hell Rufai will pay dearly for it

This is a hate speech..and should be treated as such....


El'rufai might just be holding his last political position in life....

Either ways, he will be fine. He was a successful Quantity Surveyor in Nigeria through his firm, El'Rufai and Partners before taking a paycut to become an "accidental public servant". The likes of El'Rufai are not appreciated until several years after their tenure when the fruits of their ambitious reforms are being reaped. Abuja is a case study. No successive FCT minister has been able to exceed or match what he did as minister but Abuja is still sane due to a solid foundation. People regarded him as the devil then but you need someone with balls of steel to do what he did.

Nigerians like to talk about what must be done to make things better but vilify anyone with the wherewithal to do so. 2023 will take care of itself but heads or tail, El'Rufai will be fine. His focus for now is to replicate what he did as FCT minister in Kaduna and he is very much on track. Posterity will be kind to him.

Midget terrorist

Reckless statement, Elrufia and Tinubu are In the same phylum ...
God please let Tinubu and Elrufia be elected in 2023, maybe they'll be able to push majority of Nigerians to have sense

Wawa banxa

I think Kaduna will be too hot for this midget after his tenure

Evil leader. All you leaders in APC can do is to organize thugs against peaceful protesters or organize counter protests.

A full, a brainless full.

Posterity will judge everyone...


Sacking people because they protested?

Do you know what it means to sack 60k civil servant without alternative jobs or even room for improvement?


As a minister, he gave teachers of FCT opportunity to upgrade their certificate before he took actions...

As a minister, he was mild at handling the affairs of the FCT government...But tody, he's a tyrant and feels the world revolves around him.... Arresting anyone speaking up against him, but he's very quick to speak up against other people...

lol

What he did in Abuja was to illegally aquire people's land under any pretext possible, and later share it among his wives and concubines.

He is a high handed rigid leader.

Can Sanwo of Lagos State (The governor of governors) with all the resources and power at his disposal be so arrogant in leadership matters?

If his surveying job was catering well enough for his large family, why is he looting in political office?

Abeg humility is a virtue.

Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad

El Rufai is so power drunk that he forgot that power is transient and life na turn by turn.

His day of reckoning is near

Okorocha was once a two term governor

Take it easy.

Exactly! A hard fellow is good to find.

This man should be impeached nw



Abi wetin sef

Come! What the Bleep is wrong with governor El Rufai? This is the sadistic tyrant his people and even northern lawyers fighting for when he was excluded from the NBA annual conference right?

When has it become tyrannical of anyone under this evil APC regime to see themselves as gods that must be feared or worshipped?

LibertyRep:

Bro,all those institutions the governor mentioned are part of the Labour union.
Its their respective units at the national level that will ask them to join the strike not even Wabba.

Unfortunately NLC has called off d strike

Animal talk

Not where 45,000 sacked workers are involved... there would always be 2 in ten affected..

Criminal!
