Former Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) president, Comrade Ali Corona
has advocated another four years term for President Muhammadu Buhari
to successfully complete all his government policies and programmes
which aimed at re-engineering the entire sectors of the country.
He also asserted that four years or first term in office of President
Buhari is not enough for him to address the bad governance of past
administrations, which had drawn the country into a pitiable
situation.
Speaking at the civic reception organized by the NLC Borno state
council in Maiduguri, he maintained that, “four years will not be
enough for President Buhari.
“We want him to come back for another four years or second term to
complete his job. The situation he finds the nation economy require
ling term good leadership to turn it around back to normalcy and
vibrant stage as the giant and wealthiest of Africa”.
He also appealed to the present leadership of the NLC to support and
rally round the present administration of President Buhari for a
better Nigeria and indeed a changed Nigeria from what it used to be
even before the eyes if the international community.
“The present position of the country is bad and the past leaders
mismanaged the economy. So it will take time for the President to put
things in order. We all have to be patient with the President and
support him to achieve his set goals and policy objectives. Without
you support all, he cannot succeed”, Cirona said.
He however commended the organisers and other allied union workers and
government for their support to honour their own son which he
described as a tradition that Borno people excel in their
responsibilities or service to humanity.
The former NLC President added that Comrade Ayuba Waba has quite
impressively shown his virtues in all leadership positions he has been
assigned or elected right from the school days to unionism or
Activism.
Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, who was represented by the
state deputy governor, Alhaji Usman Maman Durkwa congratulated the NLC
for successful election in the state.
He noted that the leadership of Comrade Ali Titus Abana had been
effective and responsive especially at this hard time of the Boko
Haram insurgency, while pledging to continue to maintain the cordial
working relationship between the government and labour union.
