Renowned political analyst, Reno Omokri has raised eyebrows over the nationwide strike called by Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) leader, Joe Ajaero, speculating whether it might be politically motivated due to Ajaero’s well-known affiliation with Peter Obi. CoNTINUE READING

In a detailed analysis, Omokri criticized the timing and necessity of the strike, which comes at a time when Nigeria is facing potential destabilization from the crisis in Niger Republic. Furthermore, the current administration, led by President Tinubu, had recently announced a significant increase in the minimum wage, and the removal of fuel subsidies – an action all key presidential candidates had agreed upon, except Kwankwaso.

Omokri contends that the strike is both “unnecessary” and “ill-timed,” raising doubts about Ajaero and NLC’s true motivations. He goes further to question if Ajaero would have proceeded with the same course of action had his close associate, Peter Obi, been in office. CoNTINUE READING

He also queried the economic viability of Nigeria continuing to spend more on fuel subsidies than on sectors like education, health, and housing. Omokri highlights the immediate impact on fuel prices in neighboring Benin Republic following Nigeria’s decision to end fuel subsidies.

In his concluding remarks, Omokri admonishes against reverting to the past era where Nigeria borrowed heavily to pay for fuel subsidies with a tripling of foreign debt and no tangible development to show for it. According to him, fuel subsidies must be eliminated, irrespective of NLC’s stance.

He said via his Twitter handle;

“I am just wondering if it is possible for Joe Ajaero, who openly aligned with Peter Obi, to be politically neutral and act in the national interest. This protest and nationwide strike he has called for looks like a political stunt, especially considering that the current government has agreed to increase the minimum wage and that all major presidential candidates, except Kwankwaso, agreed that they would remove fuel subsidies. Including Peter Obi, who said they would go IMMEDIATELY.”

“This strike is unnecessary and very ill-timed, more so when Nigeria is facing a crisis in Niger Republic that could spill over into Nigeria and destabilise our economy and political institutions. I may not support President Tinubu, but the palliatives and measures he announced two days ago were far-reaching and should have caused Labour and Ajaero to pause. But it didn’t. What is their agenda? This is about Nigeria, and it is time for us to be patriotic and do what is in the country’s best interest, no matter who is President. I am not sure that Ajaero would take this action if his friend, Peter Obi, were President.”

“What exactly does Joe Ajaero want? Even his own home state of Imo has introduced palliatives. Should Nigeria continue to spend more on fuel subsidies than she spends on education, health, and housing? How is that economically viable? And can Mr Ajaero explain why the pump fuel price in neighbouring Benin Republic went up as soon as Nigeria ended fuel subsidies? Nobody should take us backwards to a Buhari era where we were borrowing to pay for fuel subsidies and tripled our foreign debt with nothing to show for it. Fuel subsidies must go, whether this present NLC likes it or not.”
