Popular Anglican Bishop, Rt. Rev. Owen Nwokolo, has urged the organised Labour not to betray Nigerians in its negotiation with the Federal Government.
The organised labour and the Federal Government are set for negotiation over the recent increase in petrol price and electricity tariff.
Bishop Nwokolo reminded the labour unions that Nigerians are angry on account of the hardship they are passing through on daily basis.
The Bishop, who spoke on the sideline of the inauguration of 133 Knights and Ladies of St Christopher and five Dames of Diocese, begged the labour and the government to be sincere and transparent and approach the issues with open minds for the good of Nigerians.
According to him, “The anger of Nigerian stems from the hardship they are going through in all aspects of life and past disappointments from the organized labour; the leadership of the organised labour should therefore use the ongoing negotiation with the federal government to assuage Nigerians.
“The Nigerian masses are using the ongoing negotiation as a test case for them, and therefore they should not disappoint the people. The organised labour, particularly the NLC and TUC, should know that Nigerians are watching them as they negotiate with the federal government for their welfare.
”Nigerians are angry and will never tolerate any kind of sellout as there is punishment for such action from Nigerians. Nigerians expect them to be firm in negotiating for their welfare.”
