To the surprise and chagrin
of many today in Abuja, a
rented pro-fuel subsidy
crowd laid siege on Labour
House in Abuja today to
pressurize the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) and Trade
Union Congress (TUC) to
accept the removal of the
subsidy.
They then promptly queued
up and collected their 1000
Naira “performance”
allowance per head from the
Federal Government agents
that recruited them in front
of bemused NLC officials!
A majority of the members
were illiterate local Gbagyi
women and unemployed
youths recruited from
villages surrounding the
Federal Capital Territory
(FCT).
Their leader, one Isah
Mohammed, could not offer a
convincing explanation to
NLC officials about their
mission, and most of the
people following him did not
really know why they were
recruited.
Jaiye Gaskia, Convener of the
United Action for Democracy
(UAD) said of the shameless
act of the rented crowd.
“We are here and for very
good reasons too, a
government that claims it
has our interests at heart,
refused to listen to us;
implements a decision that
immediately made life more
brutish and unbearable for
us; then sets up a committee
to negotiate with us after
stating that the decision is
irreversible; is going to all
lengths to tell blatant lies to
discredit and dismiss our
protests - including renting a
crowd of unemployed youths
to lay a siege on LABOUR
HOUSE today in Abuja; and
then knowing that its lies
and intimidation will not
work.”
