President Bola Tinubu on Thursday told the Nigerian Labour Congress that it is not the only voice that represent the opinions of Nigerians. Speaking in Lagos during the commissioning of the Red line train network, Tinubu said workers must wait till 2027 to decide his wait or keep their peace.
The president said for the NLC to be calling workers out less than nine months in the life of an administration is unacceptable. He added that no matter how much they laid claim to their freedom and their rights, calling strikes within nine months of an administration does not show goo intention.
“If you want to participate in the electoral process, wait until 2027; if not, then make peace. You are not the only voice of Nigerians,” he said.
Tinubu assured Nigerians that the country would be out of the woods, with perseverance and hard work.
Tinubu’s jab came days after the NLC staged a protest rally over the high cost of living in the country.
It planned the protest for two days, but suspended it after the first day.
The NLC is also threatening to call a strike later if the government fails to address its grievances
