The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria, Oyo State Chapter has condemned in strong terms, the subsidy removal and subsequent increase in the prices of pump price by the Bola Ahmed Tinubu presidency.
According to the press statement signed by its Chairman, Comrade Babatunde Balogun, said “the removal is ill-timed, satanic and unacceptable. Nigerians has suffered too much in the hands of the All Progressives Congress led national leadership since it assumed national power in 2015.
“First, under the immediate past President Muhammadu Buhari through several anti-masses and poverty promoting policies, and when we think there will be a bit of relief under the campaign toga of ‘RENEWED HOPE’ President Tinubu used during his campaign , what we get in his first 24hours in office is another level of renewed hardship. The question is, is this the way to thank Nigerians for voting him into office as the 16th President of Federal Republic of Nigeria?
“This is simply heartbreaking, inhuman, satanic and unacceptable. We want to use this medium to first urge Tinubu to as a matter of importance reverse this bloodsucking policy.
If he fails, we urgent the national leadership of the labour centres of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria as well as the Nigeria Labour Congress to begin mobilization for a survival showdown with the government.
“We cannot continue like this. Enough is enough…People united, can never be defeated…”.
