You Can’t Fight Me, Wait Till 2027 To Play Politics – Tinubu Dares NLC

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu denounced the recent demonstration organized by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and cautioned the labor movement that they are not the only voice in the public sphere.

He said this while delivering a speech at the Lagos Red Line Train’s commissioning, which connected Agbado and Oyingbo.

The Labour Union protested on Tuesday against the state of challenges in the nation and the federal government’s reluctance to implement the agreement that the unions had struck.

During his statements, Tinubu took a strong stance against the Labour Party, stating that even with its widely acknowledged freedom and rights, the union is powerless to oppose a government that has only been in office for nine months.

This comes just after Tinubu declared that, in spite of opposition from people he referred to as “smugglers,” his policies will not be reversed.

In addition, he restated the notion that corruption is retaliating and declared that the government would eradicate corruption.

Tinubu said the current hardship occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy and the unification of the exchange rate is temporary, begging Nigerians to persevere.

“There is very bright light at the end of the tunnel. Nigeria will be out of economic problem, we just need to persevere and work hard,” the President declared.

But facing the Labour, he reiterated that the NLC is not the only voice of the people and warned the congress to maintain peace.

He said, “Allow me to throw a jab here. The Labour Union should understand that you are not the only with freedom and rights.

“If you want to participate in the electoral process, meet us in 2027. If not maintain peace. You are not only voice of Nigeria.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]
