President Bola Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu on Thursday took a swipe at labour unions in the country, calling on them to maintain peace.
The President took a shot at the unions in Lagos on Thursday during the inauguration of the state’s Red Line Rail service, two days after the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) held a nationwide protest over the economic hardship in the country.
Addressing those in attendance at the inauguration, President Tinubu asked for permission to throw a jab before sending a message to the Organised Labour, with main members being the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
He said, “The Labour Union should understand that no matter how long we cling to our freedom and rights, the first strike within nine months of an administration is unacceptable.
“If you want to participate in the electoral process, wait until 2027. If not maintain peace. You are not the only voice of Nigerians.”
