The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Union Congress (TUC) yesterday drew the red lines with Buhari government to either fix the economy or leave office forthwith while promising another prolonged protest if things do not change soonest.
The message was delivered during mass protests against rising cost of living in Nigeria, which attracted thousands of government workers and other Nigerians from all walks of life, in Lagos, Abuja and other major cities. The protest was tagged, “National day of action against corruption and for good governance.”
In Lagos, the workers marched from Yaba through Ikorodu Road, Maryland, Ikeja to Alausa Secretariat, seat of Lagos State government, bearing placards and chanting solidarity songs.
Addressing workers before launching out from the NLC office in Yaba, Lagos, Vice President, Amaechi Asugwuni, who led the Lagos protest, said Nigerians were tired of sufferings inflicted on them through bad governance.
“This rally is long overdue and I can assure you that prolonged protest is on the way, because, Nigerians have ears; they can hear; they have eyes; they can see and you can hear from people on the street that they are hungry. The turnout here is not a joke; it is a clear message that Nigerians are sending to the government: if they don’t know what to do, let them leave,” he said.
The labour leader said the rally was necessitated by the outcry of people who were worried about the increasing cost of food, goods and services.
