President Bola Tinubu
By our correspondent
Barring last minute changes, a planned mass protest will erupt in the city of Kano anytime from next week, as a fallout of the recent removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.
Reliable information at the disposal of this medium indicate that a former labour union leader, Alhaji Isa Tijani, is the brain behind the scheduled massive protest, with the people of Kano mobilizing to pour into the streets in protest of the harsh economic policies of the new Tinubu government.
According to a source who is privy to the planned protest, the organizers are not happy with the economic consequences of the removal of the oil subsidy on the lives of the common people.
“The removal was sudden and unplanned for, leaving the ordinary Nigerians to bear the brunt of such harsh economic policy.
“If the government goes ahead with its planned hiking of electricity tariff, then the common Nigeria will have nothing more to look up to for ease in the prevailing harsh economic realities of today,” the source added.
The source further revealed that, unless the federal government devices a quick solution to alleviate the plight of the masses, the organizers of the Kano mass protest will seek to extend its action to cover the entire Northern part of the country.
“The ensuring high cost of living as a result of the removal of oil subsidy can only be imagined. The exorbitant cost of transportation is making life unbearable for ordinary Nigerians.
“These policies are mostly targeted at the masses while the affluent in the society are mostly unaffected.
“Government should as a matter of urgency, roll out palliative to cushion the hardships being faced by the people. Anything short of that, the people of Kano will occupy the streets in a mass protest to show their disenchantment,” the source said.
This is a very good development and it has our support and earned the accolade of Gani Fawehinmi Memorial Organization and National Conscience Party..
Furthermore we are advising the organizer to adequately sensitize and mobilize the masses, youths and working people against the anti poor people policies of President Bola Hamed Tinubu that’s inspired by IMF, WORLD BANK and the imperialist country.
And call for the reversal to the old price of petrol and other petroleum products .Repairs of Refineries and building of new one for local refining of Petroleum Products. Fight to end the endemic corruption in NNPC and the governance .
For resounding victory, the organizers should link with other like minded individuals and civil societies and fronts for a coordinated Nationwide action
People United can never be defeated .
Forward Ever.
