The Labour Movement and its allies have commended the House of Representatives for its extraordinary resolution adopted today in which it demanded suspension of the astronomical increase in the price of fuel imposed by the Goodluck Jonathan government.
The Labour Movement pointed out, however, that the indefinite strikes, rallies and mass protests will commence across the country as scheduled on Monday morning.
“We ask Nigerians to disregard the disinformation by the Jonathan administration and its surrogates claiming that Labour has had a rethink on the strike,” the statement said. .
It then urged President Goodluck Jonathan to “listen to the loud voice of the Nigerian people” which the Representatives have further expressed by immediately suspending the fuel price hikes and allowing dialogue and consultation on the issue of fuel subsidy removal.
The Labour Movement also commended Nigerians in the Diaspora for their support and protests, drawing particular attention to those in the United States who plan to protest on Monday morning in front of the World Bank headquarters in Washington.
