According to the Nigeria Labour Congress, the administrations of Muhammadu Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan were preferable to that of Bola Tinubu.
NLC Spokesperson Benson Upah claimed that previous President Buhari was accommodative and did everything within his power to guarantee a stable and happy life.
Upah denounced Tinubu’s removal of the fuel subsidy and said the president had not considered the ramifications of his decision.
The NLC spokesperson also made a comparison between the current government’s exchange rate and that of the Jonathan administration.
According to the Nigeria Labour Congress, the administrations of Muhammadu Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan were better to that of Bola Tinubu.
Upah said, “I keep telling people who say Buhari was the worst that they are joking. For us at Labour, we found Buhari very accommodating.
“He did everything humanly possible to ensure that life was stable and good. When he came in, he gave money to the states to pay the backlog of salaries and pensions, but it was diverted. He made other interventions to avoid the insane increases.
“If you ask those same people now, they will tell you that the Buhari administration was very good. We are talking about less than two years ago. Before Buhari came, it was Jonathan.
“We said Jonathan had messed up this country, but now look at the indices and compare the exchange rate, the interest rate, the debt. So, we are in a situation where we are progressively getting worse.”
