Nationwide Protest: Your Palliative Measures Deceptive – Kano NLC Roasts Tinubu

The Federal Government’s palliative effort to mitigate the impact of eliminating the fuel subsidy, according to the Kano State Chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, is misleading.

The chapter noted that just two months into President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government, he had launched war on the people with his unpopular policies. The chapter joined the national body’s nationwide protest.

The union, according to Kabiru Inuwa, the NLC’s chairman in Kano, is not a political party and will never play politics with Nigerians’ lives. He expressed dismay that the administration intended to put an end to the demonstration with a court order and claimed that this demonstrated an unfriendliness toward Nigerians.

He expressed dissatisfaction with the government’s committees established to address the reduction of fuel subsidies, wages and other matters never sat, bemoaning Tinubu’s nationwide address after they threatened a strike.

“Tinubu should let the masses breathe. Palliative he promised should be quickly shared and also started implementing policies and programs he want to do,” he said.

In response, the demonstrators chanted that they wanted the fuel subsidy system back and did not want the palliative.

Dr. Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, the State Secretary to the Government, previously caused a commotion by obstructing the protesting NLC members halfway to Government House, but the demonstrators yelled at him and rejected his attempts to address them there.
