Oyo: ‘Buhari Policy on Economy is Terrifying’

The Zonal Coordinator of Ibadan chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Professor Segun Ajiboye, has described the increment in the pump price of petrol by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government as a ‘terror policy’.

Ajiboye, while addressing a mammoth crowd of anti-subsidy removal protesters at the University of Ibadan gate today, stated that the pain unleashed on Nigerians in the past one year by the federal government had become unbearable which required a mass anti-terror movement to check it.

The ASUU leader, who noted that the past one year has been full of blames of past government and pain on Nigerians, wondered what the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, wanted to add to the nation by requesting for N13million for a trip to China.

He noted that the many lies of the present government must be stopped before Nigerians will be labeled liars in the international community, stating that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is now All Promises Cancelled (APC).

“They promised to bring down the price of petrol below N50, they promised constant electricity, good roads and qualitative health services but rather than fulfilling these, it has been one lie over another, while they also disobeyed court orders at will.

“This government has been unleashing terror on Nigerians. We thought that when we finished with President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, succor would come us. All Progressive Congress is now All Promises Cancelled. They disobeyed two court judgments stopping hike in electricity tariffs. People are dying on a daily basis. A government that has no control over the black market but asked people to go to black market is clueless,” he said.

Also speaking, the state Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) Chairman, Waheed Olojede, asked Nigerians not to see the present strike as a labour struggle alone but a joint movement to check anti-masses policies. 

He said the present leadership in the country cannot be empowering their friends and unleashing hardships on Nigerians.

Olojede noted that asking people to go to the black market was a ploy by the federal government to bail out their corrupt friends who allegedly stocked their homes with dollars but afraid to take it out due to EFCC onslaught.
