A renowned Nigerian activist, Sunday Ogbole, yesterday showed his displeasure over the absurd behaviour of Edo State governor.
He said:
Oshiomole deserve to be pelted with stones, sachet waters and anything any lover of unionism can lay his or her hands on, for attempting to ridicule the platform that buttered his bread and catapulted him to the exalted position of governor of his Edo state. He "Oshiomole" wouldn't have been known if not for Nigerian Labour congress.
For recognising the Joseph Ajaero's faction, when he couldn't broker truce with the one and only true President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, clearly reveals that Oshiomole no longer feel the pains and pulse of the Nigerian workers.
Those who are asking our NLC President to ask for minimum wage increment instead of reversal to the old pump price of premium motor spirit (petrol) N86.50k do not understand critically the dynamics of govt/management - labour relations. I see very clearly, this carrot the govt is dangling in face of labour as dangerous trap to project labour as selfish and highly insensitive to the suffering of the masses.
Before anyone crucify me, let me unequivocally state my position on deregulation. It is the best thing that can and should happen to Nigeria. But before then the present govt should tell the entire world that efforts made by previous government to do away with it was one in the right direction. They should also not be ashamed of saying sorry for frustrating such a good move only to come around and introduce it.
