The Nigeria Labour Congress has condemned the increase in the price of premium motor spirit popularly known as petrol, describing it as a 'deep sense of betrayal.' The labour body made the reaction in a statement signed by its president, Joe Ajaero.NLC allege that the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government had reneged on its promise not to increase the pump price of petrol, despite accepting N70,000 as the national minimum wage.
Rather than make amends, government arrested and hounded into detention some of those who took part and some of those who had nothing to do with these protests, charging them with criminal conspiracy, subversion, treasonable felony, terrorism financing and cyber crime with an intent to overthrow the government of President Tinubu.The police and other security agencies have since been on rampage terrorising the citizenry in pursuance of government’s agenda of muzzling lawful dissent.
