The Nigeria Labour Congress has come out to issue a warning against any attempts to suppress Nigerians’ fundamental right to express their views, particularly in the light of the planned nationwide protests.
The NLC President, Joe Ajaero recently had his say via a press statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should simply invite the leadership of the protest movement for discussions on their grievances, because millions of Nigerians are clearly angry about the state of the national economy.
He added that most Nigerian families are now forced to eat one miserable meal a day amid the hardship.
His words, “As the date for the widely reported national protest looms, the Nigeria Labour Congress urges President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to invite the leadership of the protest movement for discussions on their grievances.
The truth is that millions of Nigerians are angry about the state of the national economy. A situation where most Nigerian families are forced to eat one miserable meal a day and eating from the dustbin beckons for serious intervention by the government.
When this statistics is added to the millions that are being recruited into the armies of the unemployed and under-employed Nigerians, one can easily situate the hardship, pain, frustrations and despair that many Nigerians are going through right now.
The truth is that Nigerians have been hard pushed and super-pressed right against the walls of deep deprivation and acute want.
It is, therefore, condescending and dismissive to describe the daily brutish ordeal that Nigerians are going through as a sponsored political dissent.”
