Subsidy removal: Don’t go on strike, Metuh urges Southeast NLC
Former National Publicity Secretary, PDP, Chief Olisa MetuhA former National Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh has called on the south-east chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress to pull out of the proposed strike action over the announcement of the removal of subsidy on fuel by President Bola Tinubu.
He also urged the South East to rather focus on its immediate challenges to activate “our God-given ingenuity to work.” “You will recall that in 2001, then as the Chairman of the South East Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Committee , I worked with the leadership of the South East NLC in resisting the attempt to work against the increase of fuel price to N40 then.
“It is on that premise that I come to you once again to resist the attempt to be blindly lured to shut down our region for a fight that will not benefit the ordinary people of the South East. The South East should rather focus on our immediate challenges to activate our God-given ingenuity to work.” He said, “As the people are being asked to make sacrifices and without prejudice to the petitions in the Presidential Election Petition Court, I call on President Tinubu to show leadership by immediately taking steps to ameliorate the suffering of Nigerians by cutting down on the size of government, end profligacy associated with governments and channel the resources to projects, amenities and facilities that directly impact on the wellbeing of the people.
