Eid-el-Kabir: Plight of Nigerians under Buhari govt falls below expectation ― TUC

The Trade Union Congress (TUC) said the plight of Nigerians under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, falls below expectation, regretting that presently, the impoverished masses of the country are going through the excruciating experience.

In its Eid-El-Kabir message, the TUC kicked against further loans and borrowing by the government and called on all Nigerians to rise up and voice against more loans.

“The impoverished masses of the country are going through an excruciating experience presently and it behoves the wealthy and the privileged Nigerians to empathise with the needy. Painfully and regrettably the order of the day has been a flagrant transfer of our commonwealth and loans to foreign banks rather than making it useful for the nation where it is really needed.

“This is the time for the leadership at all levels to have a rethink and redraw a workable roadmap capable of transforming the economy of the country. The plight of Nigerians under this administration falls below expectation. We say no to more loans. It has to stop. We are not in a master-servant relationship. Public officials are our employees because they are paid with taxpayers’ money. ” TUC said in a statement signed by its President, Comrade Quadri Olaleye and the Secretary-General, Comrade Musa-Lawal Ozigi.

While congratulating the Muslim faithful and Nigerians on the special occasion of the Sallah celebration, the TUC called on the leadership of the country to bear in mind that the country is in a dire strait and can only overcome if they (leaders) lead a selfless and exemplary life.

It said: “The harsh economy is taking tolls on a large number of Nigerians and out of frustration many, especially the youths are doing untoward things just to make ends meet. It is true that only God can help us overcome our challenges but we must not forget that certainly, we do have a role to play. We expect that this celebration would humble every Muslim in particular and Nigerians in general in their service to God, and to humanity.”
