Subsidy withdrawal: Ignore Wabba and his followers – Group tells FG

      

A political pressure group, Grassroots Mobilizers for Buhari, GMB, has asserted that NLC faction leader, Ayuba Wabba, and his followers are trying to intimidate the federal government so as to be settled behind closed doors, adding that the federal government should ignore them.
A statement released by the South-South Media Director of the group, Dr Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe claimed that Nigerians have resolved to move on with the new price of petrol while calling on the federal government never to engage the Ayuba faction of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in any form of dialogue.
He said that the rush for strike action when the government was making genuine and frantic efforts to work out additional palliative to cushion the effects of the fuel price increase is, “suspicious, unreasonable and ill-motivated.”

GMB, describing the Comrade Ayuba’s struggle as a show of shame, alleged that they are being sponsored by the opposition to discredit the APC national government.

Oghenesivbe, further asserted that a situation where key affiliate groups of NLC backed out of the strike such as the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, goes to show that Ayuba and his group of economic saboteurs are working for their self-interests.
The Statement reads in part, “We wish to state without fear or favour that Comrade Ayuba Wabba and his group are enemies of national progress for planning to crumble the nation’s economy at a time our country is going through trying times occasioned by low oil prices and 16 years of misrule by PDP.”
