Tinubu To NLC: It’s Unacceptable To Judge Me In 9 Months
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday insisted that it is unacceptable for Labour Unions to call for a strike within the first nine months of an administration.
Tinubu, who spoke at the Lagos Red Line launching, emphasized that the Organised Labour does not represent the sole opinions of the Nigerian people.
According to him if Labour Unions want to participate in the election, it should wait till 2027.
Tinubu said, “It is unacceptable to call for strike in just nine months of an administration.
“Allow me to throw a jab here, the Labour Unions should understand that no matter how much we cling to our freedom and rights, we cannot form a strike within nine months of an administration, it is unacceptable,” Tinubu said.
“If you want to participate in the electoral process, wait until 2027 if not maintain peace. They are not the only voice of Nigeria.”
The NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, on February 8, issued a 14-day nationwide strike notice to the Federal Government over the failure to implement the agreements reached on October 2, 2023, following the removal of fuel subsidy.
However, as Nigerians continued to deal with economic hardship, the union decided to embark on a two-day nationwide protest to press home their demands.
Despite a security advisory by the Department of State Services, DSS, the union kick-started the protest on Monday in many cities across Nigeria.
However, the National Executive Council of the NLC, suspended its nationwide protest for day two on Tuesday, after reviewing the initial day as highly impactful.
