The Confederation of All Progressives Congress (APC) Support Groups has issued a heartfelt plea to the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), urging them to reconsider their proposed nationwide strike.
The Director-General of the APC Support Groups, Kailani Muhammed, made this appeal in a statement released in Abuja on Monday, November 6.
Muhammed emphasized the potential dire consequences of such a strike, asserting that it could disrupt the very core of the nation’s economy and socio-democratic processes.

“We are using this forum to passionately appeal to NLC, the umbrella body of Nigerian workers, to shelve its planned strike on the physical assault on the NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, in Imo State,” Muhammed stated.
The group is of the belief that the NLC is well aware of the far-reaching implications of the proposed strike, possibly more so than anyone else.
They express concerns that the strike could lead to a disruption and upheaval in the Nigerian economy, resulting in unnecessary chaos due to the halt in all economic activities across the country.

Muhammed further elaborated, saying, “The commoner on the street, whom the NLC protects, will be more negatively impacted.
This is because the already high cost of goods and services will soar to unimaginable proportions.
This is deadly because they cannot be brought down by changing situations. As we all know, prices never come down in Nigeria once they go up.”

The APC Support Groups hope that the NLC will carefully consider the ramifications of their planned strike before taking further action.
