Renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falan, SAN, has lambasted the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government, saying the current hardship Nigerians are going through were never asked for.
The respected lawyer, speaking at the Central Working Committee, CWC, meeting of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, held on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, said he is in support of the decision of the union to organise a one-day strike over the situations in the country.
Falana lamented that Nigerians didn’t vote change for suffering and call on the All Progressives Congress, APC-led government to fulfil the promises it made to Nigerians during the campaigns.
“We didn’t vote change for agony; we didn’t vote change for tyranny. We fully endorse NLC resolutions for strike,” the legal luminary stated.
Falana further kicked against the double-speak of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, saying that, “today he says fuel scarcity will end in May, tomorrow, he says he’s not a magician. Somebody is supervising himself because there’s no NNPC board.”
