President Bola Tinubu has accused the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) of playing politics with its recent nationwide strike action.
Politics Nigeria reports that the NLC embarked on peaceful protests across the country on Tuesday over the economic hardship faced by most Nigerians.
But speaking at the commissioning of the Lagos Red Line Train in Lagos on Thursday, Tinubu said Labour Union should understand that despite its acclaimed right and freedom, it cannot fight an administration which is just nine-month old.
Tinubu insisted that there was no going back on the removal of fuel subsidy and other reforms despite resistance by some persons.
Tinubu restated that the current hardship occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy and the unification of the exchange rate is only temporary, while pleading with 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,” Tinubu said.
He added: “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.”
Tinubu is tired already for making such statement regarding the NLC peaceful protest in the country. Things are hard, he should allow border to be opened let’s other people import goods to this country and it shouldn’t be only selected people. We’re not in war and life become hard for people.
That’s Nigerian president talking
Why you no go talk anyhow, when you have assembled criminals and rigger’s from every part of the country…. Criminal Representatives from North West, North East, North Central, South East, south south and south west
But God dey
Na God Hand we dey o. All these bragging and stuffs get time limit. If he likes let him continue talking.
@F K, you were with him when he arranged the criminals and riggers abi? If they catch you now to come explain yourself with evidence, you will now start saying something else, begging… Better take care….
While we wait according to you…you squander.
We really trusted your leadership acumen and your foresight to turn things around positively nomatter the pain we face, but strongly believe in God almighty for His grace to help our dear country. God bless APC! God bless Tinubu!! God bless Nigeria!!!
Am very disappointed in your statement & I feel so so sorry for u. It’s just a BIG SHAME such statements coming out from ur mouth
You are still shouting God bless Nigeria, God bless tinubu.
Don’t worry very soon u will start killing your children just to put food on the table. Mugu like u
Anụ ọhịa
If you are sincere with what you have said,it’s ok, may God make your condition like the people who where stamped for 10,000 naira rice in yaba…
I don’t think anything is wrong with what PBAT is doing. Most people working against his government are in one way or the other benefitting from ilicit things.
Some people just sit on what is supposed to be for all for the benefits of themselves and families.
Instead of opposition to work with him on how to move Nigeria forward, they keep criticising and wailing.
Nigeria cannot be tirn around overnight. It takes some patience and perseverance. Let keep supporting the good things he is doing
Nothing like God……they have been praying to God before we were born still the country is still going from bad to worst ….. nothing concern God for this matter ….leave God aside ……the leaders are the problem …. I come in peace.
Learn to gather courage & smile in difficult situations. Learn how to say ok without arguing back. Learn how to stay calm without losing your mind. Learn how to walk away without holding grudges. Self-control is the biggest strength, that is how we should maintain ourselves in this nation I I am proud of my country no matter what we are pass true it has a Nigerian citizens,am poor but that shouldn’t stop me ,,not to be kind to my country.becz I Believed oneday I will be Rich indeed..***
GOD BLESS NIGERIAN ✅
We know your policy is a good one but very slow to act than to speak.
Very slowly to act than to speak out
Tinubu is not a weakling as many assumed! You are dealing with a political warrior!
If you must floor APC & PDP, not with propaganda but solution driven movements
Once thing we Nigerians know most is that…they play politics with everything
Hardship is common to Nigerians but the main problems that worsening the current situation…is the insecurity…the followed by neglect on farming…if we must get it right…the govt must tackles… insecurity…and lack of food sufficiency…then corruption
You have already known the 2027 result so it’s not jab
People are talking about bad leadership of your Administration, you’re still talking about 2027 leaders without conscious.
We are patiently waiting for the eventual outcome of your policies despite the economic hardship experienced by we the masses.we pray God to grant you good health and long life to actualize these policies for the betterment of Nigerians.
Let we see, if the Nigerians are slaying to you useless President
If u think u have power now , but know that Almighty Allah have power over every one of us .Even u will never been that possition again by special grace of almighty Allah , oloriburukuu Agbalagba u put every one into problem of removed subsidy
What gives you the assurance of 2027?
Do you think this is the way God wants it to be. Next moment could mean something else for you Mr. President who bribed his way to illegitimate power.
Shame of a nation!
He has already started writing the 2027 result it is not a jab if know Tinubu
Who knows how tomorrow will be? Nobody except Our God almighty….
I believe in your leadership continue with the good work
I will continue to weep for Nigeria
If any politician trust only in him/her self ideaology or philosophy to run administration be it federal, state or local government leaving God through his son Jesus Christ out of it (not fulfilling purpose of God for his/her life ) will crumble with entire generations.
Is it good that some set of people called FEC will go indoor meet only for a rumor had always been coming true under the present administration #HardShip.Master#
By the grace of god, God will not allow you, because you are Rich abi God will damage your life after sack setima
Who is that stupid man or woman saying that rubbish, God bless tinubu Nigerian and APC, God will kill them from this country and replace it with good people who can take we Nigerian to the nest level which Nigerian never be since the beginning
I said it, Nigeria has entered one- chance; he’s already talking of 2027 in just 6 months in power, what a fool’s Paradise of a country that doesn’t know what’s good for herself.
I don’t blame u. As u know DAT u will rig 2027 elections DAT is y u have d guts to talk dis way. One day one day e go burst for dis country and everybody go answer him papa name. Utter rubbish from a president. Who do us for dis country sef?
Maybe he will see 2027 who knows
Who knows tomorrow bro???
This is the real militarisation of Nigerian politics those of us who accused the previous administrations of Dictator ship and whatever.
Imagine how the President is looking at the NLC movement.
God save us
Lord have mercy on Nigerians. Only a fool thinks that there is no God .Mr president , we reject the drama titled election in Nigeria in Jesus name. By God grace all the bad leaders in Nigeria will soon learn their lesson.
This challenge we face in this country is self cause,
First, we the citizens do not love the country we are, so instead of waking up every morning and saying good thing to the country, we always saying negative.
TINUBU CAN’T DO ANYTHING TO TRANSFORM THE COUNTRY.
Let us love ourselves and the country.
I know that God is working something for NIGERIA.
Instead of doing the needful, you took personal and fight Union. If by true election this government can’t come back 2027 and if you can’t truly get majority votes, then it means majority of Nigerians heartless and hopeless. However, we are aware of your games. Some have done before but where are they today.
Only God will decide who will stay alive to see the 2027
He is already planning for 2027
You have worked your way into the office, by the special grace of God even before that 2027 God will remove you there,we the common masses of Nigeria don’t have any power but we still believe only God has the ultimate power.
You didn’t win at polls, we all know what transpired at INEC so don’t beat your chest
You have never worn at any polls but in court
I don’t blamed Mr president at all, because majority of us vote him in, citizens are the problem of Nigeria,I pray that God should have mercy on us.
It’s so painful in the plight of this hardship the president is taking about 2027, what election is Thier for him to win when the people who he claimed voted him are experiencing hunger and hard times.God be in his throne we shall all see how he will win 2027 unless God has given Nigeria to reprobate hands….
