Former Kaduna Senator, Shehu Sani, has advised President Bola Tinubu’s administration to work hard and fix the economy to avoid the looming protest of angry Nigerians.
The ex-federal lawmaker said this kind of protest does not
come with a notice like the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union
Congress.
Sani gave this advice via his X account on Friday, following
the exchange of words between the NLC and the federal government after the
former suspended its two-day warning protest.
The federal government had told the Labour Union’s officials
to wait till 2027 if they wanted to contest for the office of the president
saying that the protest was uncalled for.
In its response, the NLC said Tinubu should address the
hunger, unemployment, and inflation killing the economy, adding that nobody was
after his office.
Reacting to the development, Sani said the most dreadful
demonstrations are not from organised labour or civil society organisations
that issue notice before embarking on it, but rather those staged by the
unemployed, hungry, and homeless people who have nothing to lose.
He wrote, “The most dreadful protests are not the controlled
ones organised by the Labour Unions, the organised civil society or the
opposition parties.
“The protests this country should work hard to avert are the
organic ones led by the hungry, the homeless, the unemployed, the downtrodden,
and the dregs of the streets; this kind of protest doesn’t come with notice of
date of commencement or date of suspension, this protest is the kind led by
people who have nothing to lose but their shackles; this is the kind of protest
the Government and nation must avoid.”
