Reno Omokri has berated the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) for planning to go on strike over the removal of the fuel subsidy.
According to him, the labour union has no genuine reason to protest against the removal of the fuel subsidy by the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led federal government.
He argued that the body does not have the interest of the masses at heart.
Politics Nigeria reports that Omokri made this known on his official Twitter handle.
He insisted that NLC did nothing despite the bad policies of Buhari.
He wrote:
‘If the suffering of the masses is the real reason behind the planned fuel subsidy strike by the Peter Obi endorsing Nigerian Labour Congress, why did they not go on strike when the masses were suffering over the Naira redesign, even when the Buhari government did not give in to their demands for reversal of the policy?
Why did they not strike when university students sat at home for a year due to Buhari’s failure to meet ASUU’s demands? Calling for a strike a week after the swearing-in of the man who defeated the man you endorsed looks like sour grapes. This present NLC is too compromised with its links to Peter Obi to be objective.’
