The Director of Media and Publicity for the dissolved All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Bayo Onanuga, has urged Nigerian workers to ignore the directives of the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, on the proposed strike slated to commence Wednesday over the removal of fuel subsidy.

Onanuga in a post via his verified Twitter handle stated that the Ajaero-led union is playing politics and acting the script of the opposition Labour Party.

He added that the move was targeted at destabilising President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The statement read in part, “NLC President Joe Ajaero has asked workers to go on strike next Wednesday over the removal of petrol subsidy, despite being privy to the distressing financial figures, which justified why subsidy ought to have been scrapped a long time ago. My advice to the perceptive workers and the Nigerian populace is simply to ignore Ajaero and his ilk. He is playing politics and is actually acting the script of the opposition Labour Party, out to destabilise the young Tinubu administration.

“Besides, one wonders whose interest Ajaero is championing, when he did not oppose the position of his Labour Party and presidential candidate, who campaigned with the promise to scrap subsidy from Day One, if elected.

“NLC and TUC leaders knew since last year November that subsidy will be scrapped from July 1 as no provision has been made in the budget for it, beyond this date.

“The Federal Government which already commits 96 percent of its revenue in servicing debt is not in any position to continue selling subsidised fuel, most of which is smuggled across our borders for criminal and obscenely unpatriotic profit.”
Onanuga further explained that subsidy of fuel was no longer sustainable as the FG is virtually broke. According to him, apart from its N77 trillion debt, the federal government also owed the NNPC Limited about N2.4 trillion for past subsidies.

“The Nigerian people and workers should support the government as it works out new wages and rolls out other interventions, as promised by President Tinubu, to mitigate the effects of the new fuel price.

“Let’s not make ourselves pawns in the hands of the politically biased and tainted NLC and TUC. Ajaero is no more a labour leader. He is a politician and leader of the Labour Party. He is no more representing all the Nigerian workers,” he added.

Answer.

The situation then warranted it. But things have changed.

Even if the refinery doesn't work in the next century, subsidy is gone and gone for good.

Go back and tell them, subsidy is already gone and no going back.

Tinubu has already put millions of long suffering Nigerians in harm's way, by unilaterally removing the oil subsidy without putting measures in place to ameliorate the situation.

NLC is not against subsidy removal, however NLC is against doing so, without proper consultations and policies to make it less painful on the general population

This one nor get sense I swear.....

tinsel:

You’re deceiving yourself.

This USELESS APC man.

If u check now, His Family members and Relatives are Groaning and Suffering under the pain of Tinubu's action. 😒

tinsel:

Be deceiving Yourself!

Is the Lagos the ONLY Place in Nigeria?

In Abuja, Benin City, PH, etc, The Strike will be MASSIVELY obeyed.
Even in Lagos, It will be Successfully Carried out.
Lagos is Filled with Sane and Patriotic Nigerians,NOT Tribalistic, Narrow-minded Peeps like you. 😕

Labour will soon be proscribed and disbanded. Then they will know that there is a New Sheriff in town

IDeyNL:
Like Tinubu and APC showed they were enemies of progress in 2012 Abi.

u de mind this bigots.....NLC now is Labour party to them.....

Mumu Bayo gagaraga. Tinubu, Buhari and APC sabotaged Jonathan's government.
The foolish hypocrite is suffering from dementia. He should go and check the headlines in 2014.

Not by him asking them to go on strike, many intends to do so, if you've been to some local areas you'll see how things are hard now, they are also parents they have kids they take to school they also go to work, now fuel is just like an exhibit, everything now increased it's not that fair.

So it's not PDP again it's now labour party, wow,just wow..this labour will not labour in vain ooo.

U guys keep deceiving urselves. Reality has set in. Hunger & hardship knows no tribe or political affiliations.
Nobody is against subsidy removal, but if politicians (whether in APC, PDP or LP) are sincere, they should keep subsidy till the refineries are working.
That u support Tinubu or APC shouldn't prevent ur brain from functioning properly.
Use ur senses

That's the problem... We can't afford subsidy with our debt burden

Tinubu is a place holder president

So? Should we now fry eggs

I will be happy to stay at home that day to save myself from stress

I don't know why APC politicians and fans are so stupid, useless and brainless. Imaging this fool politicking with the current situation. It's no longer PDP but labour party.
This should tell you that they know that labour party won the last election.

IT IS NOW NLC IS ACTING LABOUR PARTY's SCRIPT. NLC WASN'T ACTING LABOUR PARTY's SCRIPT WHEN OSHIOMOLE WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF NLC AND OBASANJO AS HEAD OF STATE
