Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has said it was not
\ndisappointing that the Nigerian labour unions bowed at the last minute
\nfrom the planned strike action.<\/p>\n
The CNPP in a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Chief Willy
\nEzugwu said “we expected that this would happen and that was why the
\nCNPP opted to rally civil society movements across the country.<\/p>\n
“We are monitoring the situation and rejigging our plans in view of the
\nnow obvious reality that the ordinary citizens who cannot travel to
\nAbuja are on their own.<\/p>\n
“In the last five years, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the
\nTrade Union Congress (TUC) have remained toothless bulldogs and
\ncompromised arm of the federal government of Nigeria.<\/p>\n
“The suffering masses who believed the labour unions can now continue to
\nsuffer, while all voices are shut.<\/p>\n
“Following the current compromise and sell out, we advise Nigerians
\nnever to take the labour unions seriously until there is a rebirth when
\nthese current leaders of the unions are gone.<\/p>\n
“We join the Nigerian people to clearly declare that we have completely
\nlost confidence in the current leaders of the labour unions in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
“For them, getting “palliatives” for the unions is all they want while
\nthe masses can continue to suffer.<\/p>\n
“The CNPP calls on all Nigerians not to lose hope in the country. There
\nwill be light at the end of the tunnel”, the CNPP stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
