Chief Femi Fani Kayode, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) has querried why NLC accepted Naira redesign but denounced removal of fuel subsidy.
He said in Abuja, “The leadership of the NLC did not threaten to go on strike when the alleged sadistic monster called Emefiele introduced his horrendous, callous, wicked, malevolent, barbaric, vicious, self-seeking, politically-motivated, unconstitutional and illegal cash confiscation and money deprivation policy that resulted in the suffering, hunger, destruction, death, suicide, hardship, depression, frustration, madness and despair of millions of our people.
“Instead they are threatening to go on strike over the implementation of a well-thought out and credible policy on oil subsidy which the Nigerian people endorsed by voting for a President who promised to remove it and which, though initially tough, will inevitably and eventually result in the restoration and ressurection of our economy and ensure that we have the necessary funds and resources for massive infrastructural development.” He said.
“It is this not strange and is it not a reflection of the insincerity, double standards and hypocrisy of the leadership of the Labour Congress?” He said
Femi Fani Kayode who was a former Minister of Transport said, he alleged that this action proves the fact they are acting out a script and that they are nothing more than a pack of alleged ravenous wolves, implacable adversaries, insidious subversives and opportunistic mercenaries who are in the hands and power of Peter Obi?
The Politician said that if Peter orders them to jump they will ask, “Bwana, how high?”. Whether the NLC likes it or not the oil subsidy MUST and WILL go.
Fani Kayode concluded that removal of the fuel subsidy is the only way to save Nigeria from the fiscal challenges, rot and deterioration that it has suffered over the last 15 years and put us back on the right track for national development.
