Labour was heavily criticized for their action, with some calling for the heads of their leaders and seeking for their trials for economic sabotage. I align with the SGF George Akume over Labour’s action in some ways and hope that they would be more strategic going forward. SGF Akume however spoiled his own argument when he said the government would not accede to Labour’s demand because someone like him who has four drivers cannot pay even N100,000 to each of the drivers.
Another visibly annoying display of opulence is our convoy mentality. I doubt if any minister or governor moves around with less than 10 cars each, not to talk of heads of MDAs, military and paramilitary heads, senators and Reps all funded and their cars fueled from the public weal. The president’s convoy on his first visit to Lagos after he was sworn nearly shut down the nation’s commercial capital.
Government should put certain framework in place and curb their excesses before Nigerians can be convinced that the country is broke. The politicians whom they see as models do not inspire confidence. They are extravagant and reckless with public funds. Therefore, bad behaviour, corruption and opaqueness must be eliminated, before the government and the governed can be on the same page for the progress of the country.
