Tinubu Under Fire, Accused Of Hypocrisy Over Attack On Labour (Video)

President Bola Tinubu’s recent criticism of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has sparked outrage and heated debate across the country. Many Nigerians took to social media to express their frustration and anger, pointing out instances where Tinubu had supported protests during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The uproar was triggered by Tinubu’s remarks at the unveiling of the Lagos Red Rail Line project, where he denounced the NLC’s decision to call for strikes within the first nine months of an administration. Tinubu’s stance drew sharp criticism from citizens who accused him of hypocrisy and double standards.

Numerous voices on social media highlighted Tinubu’s past support for protests and strikes during previous administrations, particularly under President Jonathan. They argued that if Tinubu’s government had been effective and responsive to the needs of the people, such protests would not be necessary.

Many Nigerians expressed disillusionment with Tinubu’s leadership, suggesting that his inability to address the country’s challenges reflected his unsuitability for higher office. Calls for accountability and transparency resonated strongly among citizens, with demands for leaders to acknowledge their shortcomings and work towards genuine solutions.

The controversy surrounding Tinubu’s remarks underscored deeper frustrations with governance and leadership in Nigeria. As citizens grapple with economic hardships, insecurity, and other pressing issues, there is a growing call for politicians to prioritize the welfare of the people and uphold democratic principles.

In the midst of this outcry, the dialogue between government officials and the public remains essential in addressing grievances and fostering trust. GWG.ng continues to monitor the evolving discourse and provide updates on this developing story.

See some reactions below:

@Royal_Citizens: Is he trying to paint their grievances as though they are politically motivated?

Is he blind or deaf that the things they  clamor for or complain about are real?

@Capolutiti: But same you and co declared protest against Jonathan government just 7 months into his administration.

@OmepaKogi_: But declaring suffering in 9 month of administration is acceptable right?

@nohrix: Openly threatening the labour union for doing what is constitutionally enshrined right!

These clowns lead protest against Jonathan!

@The_Helm12: But before nine months into your administration you approved 1.5 billion naira for your wife, 5 billion for a yacht and other billions you approved for renovation of useless structures.

@officialABAT

 you’re not sincere at all, you’ve never be sincere anyway.

Shame on you!!!

@allowonlygood: But it is acceptable to triple the suffering of Nigerians within 9 months, abi? If not that the so-called organized Labour are slow or inactive at best, this protest should have happened since Month 1.
