“This Is Suspicious”: Reno Omokri Says As NLC Embarks on Strike on Presidential Tribunal Judgement Day

• Nigerians await the final judgement of the presidential election petition tribunal slated for Wednesday, September 6
• The tribunal will bring an end to the argument over the actual winner of the 2023 presidential election
• Amid this storm, the NLC has embarked on a 2-day warning strike, but Reno Omokri has faulted the timing of the industrial action

Ex-aide of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has insisted that the timing of the two-day warning strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is 'suspicious'.

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party made this known via a post shared on his X page (formerly known as Twitter) on Monday, September 4, 2023.

Earlier, organised labour announced it would embark on a warning strike on Tuesday, September 5, and Wednesday, September 6, to drive home its demand for the federal government to address the untold hardship occasioned by the fuel subsidy removal.

Omokri questions NLC over strike

Reacting, Omokri said the timing of the strike “is just too convenient for comfort”, considering the fact that the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal has scheduled Wednesday, September 6, to deliver judgement on the petitions filed against Tinubu's election victory.

Omokri warned that the tribunal's verdict must not be thwarted.

He tweeted:

"Why go on a two-day warning strike on a day the Presidential Election Petition Court is to deliver its verdict?

"Why not do it after or before? This is suspicious, especially from an NLC President who openly supported and campaigned for Peter Obi during the election.

"There are 365 days in a year. This timing is just too convenient for comfort. The Wednesday, September 6, 2023, PEPC verdict must not be scuttled, and those who are shouting #AllEyesOnTheJuduciary must allow the judiciary breathe."
