OPINION BY OMOLE IBUKUN: Labour leaders can only bark, they can’t bite | TheCable
Earlier this week, fuel queues as long as the rivers in my village re-emerged on the streets of Abuja. The transport fare that doubled in February doubled again, meaning that I now pay four times the rate of the fare I paid in January to move from one place to the other in Abuja.
On March 31, after TUC lost its national general secretary and the Kwara state chairman to the hands of terrorist bombing on the Kaduna-Abuja rail, the TUC president signed a press statement where he said: “Congress, hereby, mandates all its affiliates throughout the country, and our civil society allies to get ready to engage the Government to rise up to its constitutional role of protecting citizens and properties.
Speaking on the ASUU strike a few days ago, the TUC president was quoted threatening that, “we advise that everything must be done to dispense with the impasse to avoid a situation where congress might be compelled to embark on a solidarity strike” — but nothing is being done on the ground in preparation for a solidarity strike by the TUC even when protests by students of UNILAG, UNILORIN, UNIBEN, and OAU have commenced over that.
