Former Governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa and legal icon, Prof Itse Sagay (SAN) , have slammed Organised Labour’s leadership for suspending the strike, saying, “they have betrayed Nigerians.”
Said Musa: “Let us understand that labour got the full support of the civil society groups, the people. Calling off the strike half way without consulting with the people, is to humiliate us. Though, to some of us we are not surprised. What we should do is to organize ourselves and fight on. The N97 per litre as surrendered by NLC is unacceptable to Nigerians. ”
On the deployment of soldiers to Lagos, the former governor lambasted the federal government’s decision. “It is unfortunate that all this talk about democracy is a farce, if not why would the military or the police not respect the rights of Nigerians even with their non-violent approach?” he queried.
On his part, Sagay said labour had always betrayed Nigerians, recalling that “they once betrayed us under the leadership of Adam Oshiomhole during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration.”
