Wetin dey happen for Abuja na serious matter o! NLC plus TUC don show serious backing for FCT workers wey dey on strike since January 19, over unpaid salaries and bad working condition. Dem dey call out Minister Nyesom Wike as him dey intimidate people wey just wan collect wetin dem work for.
Di whole gist begin when NLC spokesperson, Benson Upah, and TUC Secretary General, N. A. Toro, drop statement wey talk say Wike and e government dey manage workers as if dem be slaves. Na wah o! Dem claim say di minister dey use yamayama tactics to break their spirit and stop di strike. E be like say dem think say dem fit just intimidate people like say na agbada dem dey wear.
Di workers leg no go shake as di unions don tell dem make dem hold body strong and no gree for any form of fear. E be like say Wike just dey play rough, abeg how person go dey threaten dem wey dey fight for wetin be right? Di NLC even talk say, “No option to back down; na we dey run this matter together.”
Wike go collect big wahala if e no take time tackle di issues wey dey for ground. Di strike dey continue until e sit down with di workers for table talk. Hem dey find order to stop di unions but no fit reach dem as dem don wax stronger. Di unions give shout say, “We no fit remain quiet while dem dey treat us like say we be second-class citizens. We go continue til justice show face.”
Omo, I dey yarn this matter from corner of my beer joint, and e clear say if Wike no get sense, di only thing wey e go collect na more issue. Di workers need make dem no forget say dem fit fight for wetin be dem own without fear. As dem dey talk, “Work no go kill us, we dey fight for wetin we deserve.”
This one na signal for everybody wey dey feel say dem fit joke with di rights of workers. E be like say dis matter no go finish anytime soon, as long as di Minister dey act like say na him dey run di whole show. Na so e be, my people. Stay tuned for more updates as dis strike dey unfold! Abeg, wetin you think?
