There is no gainsaying the fact that the NLC is being hypocritical on their stance as regards fuel subsidy removal. As a matter of fact, I believe that their call for protest against the removal of subsidy was hypocritical considering the fact that they even supported and campaigned for a Presidential candidate who advocated for subsidy removal during electioneering campaign. It only shows that the NLC is not committed to principle and that they are only being a toothless bulldog that they have been as a result of their excessive romance with the ruling elites.
The African Action Congress (AAC), one of the political parties that participated in Nigeria’s 2023 general elections, has directed its members across the country to join the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) proposed nationwide strike. The strike is scheduled to start on Wednesday over the announcement of fuel subsidy removal by President Bola Tinubu. The AAC gave the directive on Sunday in a statement issued by its National Working Committee and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Femi Adeyeye.
