*Says Buhari govt is driven by strong words, little action
*Deplores FG on economy
*Falana: We didn’t vote change for suffering
*Deplores Kachukwu on wrong-headed policies

In response to public outcry against the excruciating pain faced by Nigerians, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is to declare a one-day nationwide strike against the insistence by the federal government to go on with the electricity tariff hike, ongoing fuel scarcity and current economic hardship Nigerians are facing under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Declaring open the Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting of the NLC, the President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, accused the Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) government of failing in several fronts in its promises to the people.

The union said it will also protest against anti-labour laws about to be enacted by the Kaduna State governor, Ahmed El Rufai.

Also, human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, said while speaking at the event that the teeming population of Nigerians “didn’t vote change for suffering.

“We didn’t vote change for agony; we didn’t vote change for tyranny. We fully endorse NLC resolutions for strike,” Falana said.

He lambasted the double-speak of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Dr Ibe Kachikwu, saying that, “today he says fuel scarcity will end in May, tomorrow, he says he’s not a magician. Somebody is supervising himself because there’s no NNPC board.”

Speaking on the flagrant abuse of court order on the charge to government to return back to old electricity tariff, Wabba explained that government cannot arbitrarily disobey such orders without opposition from labour.

“The point must be made that obedience to the rule of law by all citizens but more particularly those who publicly take the oath of office to protect and preserve the Constitution is desideratum to good governance and respect for the rule of law. In a constitutional democratic society like ours, this is meant to be a norm.”

The labour leadership have since been disappointing Nigerians, if not they ought to have by now know that the only language Nigerian government understand is STRIKE. All I know is all this will stop someday because people will soon rise against this oppressions.
Imagine a govt that promised heaven and paradise, thunder fire them all

NLC or whatever should just keep shut. who dem don help Abeg? What have they been doing before now? Yeye apple. Ladies and gentlemen, isn't this an obvious sign APC was not prepared for governance? After 11 months, tell me one tangible thing ds government has achieved (remember I said achieved). I would not av been disappointed if not for fuel. I av always said it that I don't belive d promise of job. Why? u will ask. The answer is simple. How can person who has never created a job for a person promise u 5 000 or maybe 2 000 000. Is dat possible? but some gullible ones believed and are still waiting. please tell them they will wait for more than 600 yrs. If Aliko Dangote makes such promise, I will believe. It's just a shame that pple u voted for (cos I never voted) are naive about governance. God help us

I duff my hat for the jazz that PMB used on our Labour leaders to hold them to stay put for over three weeks of this fuel scarcity. I can't imagine this long silence happening in the days of GEJ!

Maybe the fowl has come to roost and the mist in the eyes is been cleared because the spell is been broken!

Despite Jonathan's incompetence and clueless, he managed to pay civil servants at the end of the month.
