Omokri Questions Timing Of Warning Strike During Tribunal Judgment

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has raised suspicions about the timing of the two-day warning strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

Omokri expressed his concerns on X (formerly Twitter) in a post.

The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) had scheduled Wednesday, September 6, to deliver judgment on petitions filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and Allied Peoples Movement (APM), challenging the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 election.

Earlier, the NLC had announced plans for a two-day warning strike on Tuesday, September 5, and Wednesday, September 6, to draw attention to issues such as the removal of petrol subsidies and other hardships faced by the public.

Reno Omokri questioned the timing of the strike, describing it as “too convenient for comfort.” He wondered why the strike was planned for the same days as the PEPT verdict, suggesting that it could be seen as an attempt to disrupt the judicial process.

Omokri also noted the NLC President’s previous support for Peter Obi during the election and called for the PEPT verdict, scheduled for September 6, 2023, to proceed without interference.

However, the NLC president speaking on AIT on Tuesday morning said that the strike was planned well ahead of the date for the election tribunal judgment was given.
