 2027: Tinubu can’t win in free, fair election – Dele Momodu …Says President made huge campaign promises, but delivering very little ...Talks about PDP crisis, defections, state of APC, what Atiku, Obi can do, Fubara and emergency rule in Rivers   By Christy Anyanwu Dele Momodu is a journalist and politician. He was one of the few Nigerians who fought the military for the country to return to democratic rule using NADECO. In this interview with Sunday Sun, he looked at governance in Nigeria today, the state of the nation, political economy, the President Bola Tinubu’s policies and outcomes, as well as the country’s trajectory. How would you describe the state of the nation? Insecurity is taking a toll on Nigeria, to the extent that the President, on his return from France, gave marching orders to Security Chiefs and the NSA that enough is enough. How do you look at that order? I don’t see anything new in that. From the time we had the crisis, let’s say, from Jonathan to Buhari...

NLC OPPOSES FUEL HIKE, SEEKS IMMEDIATE REVERSAL. (PHOTO).


 NLC opposes fuel hike, seeks immediate reversal


The Nigeria Labour Congress has decried the recent hike in the price of Premium Motor Spirit popularly known as petrol nationwide.


The union also demanded an immediate reversal of the hike while accusing the government of only focusing on fuel price increments.


The NLC in a statement signed by its president, Joe Ajaero, on Wednesday, called on the government to inform Nigerians of the destination it plans to take the country to.


Ajaero also knocked on Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited for the increment.


“Even following the logic of market forces, we find it an aberration that a private company (NNPCL) is the one fixing prices and projecting itself as a hegemonic monopoly. We challenge the government to go to the drawing board and present us with a blueprint for inclusive economic growth and national development instead of this spasmodic ad hocism and palliative policy.


“It needs no stating the fact that the latest wave of increase has grossly altered the calculations of Nigerians once again at a time they were reluctantly coming to terms with their new realities. It will further deepen poverty as production capacities dip and more jobs are lost with multidimensional negative effects.


“In light of this, we urge the government to immediately reverse this rate hike as previous increases did not produce any good results. People only got poorer. But more fundamentally, the government should be bold enough to tell Nigerians in advance the destination it wants to take the country.”


Earlier, some stations of the NNPC in Abuja raised the retail price of petrol to N1,030 from N897 per litre.
