Tinubu knocks NLC for protesting against him
During the commissioning of the Redline Rail project in Lagos, the president had called out the labour union for going on strike four times in just nine months of his administration. He added that the union should wait till 2027 if they want to play politics.
Tinubu added that the NLC was not the only voice of Nigerians and that playing politics with his policies was unacceptable. He said organised labour cannot fight his government.
Shehu Sani reacts as Tinubu tackles NLC
Reacting to the president's comment, Sani, in a tweet on Friday, March 1, said protests from hungry and unorganised Nigerians would not come with a notice of the date of commencement and suspension.
The tweet reads:
"The most dreadful protests are not the controlled ones organised by the Labour Unions, the organised civil society or the opposition parties. The protests this country should work hard to avert the organic one led by the hungry, the homeless, the unemployed, the downtrodden and the dregs of the streets.
"This kind of protest doesn’t come with notice of the date of commencement or date of suspension. This protest is the kind led by people who have nothing to lose but their shackles; this is the kind of protest the Government and nation must avoid."
