Tinubu Is Worse than Buhari, Jonathan in Term of Economic Policies – NLC
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has berated President Bola Tinubu saying that the economic policies of the current administration are far worse than the last two (Muhammadu Buhari and Goodluck Jonathan).
The labour union had already expressed its betrayal with the deal it signed with the federal government over the new minimum wage. On Friday, Benson Upah, the spokesperson for the union said that Muhammadu Buhari was preferable to Tinubu, the incumbent president.
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.”
