Rethink Nigeria’s Romance With Bretton Woods Institutions, Sack Unproductive Appointees – CNPP Tells Tinubu | METROWATCH

*Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP)

(PRESS RELEASE)

We, the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP), strongly condemn the unwarranted raid on the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) headquarters by a team of security operatives.

This Gestapo-style operation, which involved forcefully gaining entry into the offices of the labour union, is a blatant disregard for the principles of democracy and the rule of law.

It is appalling that this incident occurred under the watch of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who was produced through opposition struggle and has presented himself as a democrat over the years.

The CNPP demands that President Tinubu immediately call to order the security agencies that are turning Nigeria into a police state, attacking opposition voices, and hounding them into detention in a manner reminiscent of a draconian military junta.

While we are not advocating for violent agitation, or protests, or distribution of inciting materials, we cannot accept the high-handedness of our security forces within civilian environments.

At a time when farmers cannot farm in peace due to insecurity, the attempt to gag citizens or intimidate them into submission is unacceptable to a civilised society.

This approach will only embolden the masses and earn more hatred for the Tinubu administration from people who are already undergoing unbearable economic pains and worsening hunger.

As the saying goes, “a hungry man is an angry man.” We warn that if the Tinubu administration forgets that Mr. President was a product of the trenches, it may be disastrous for the economy if security agencies push citizens underground through the ongoing high-handedness.

We call on President Tinubu to respect the rights of citizens, including the NLC, and to focus on addressing the economic and security challenges facing the nation.

The CNPP will continue to speak out against any form of oppression and advocate for the rights of Nigerians under a democratic and constitutional governance where the welfare of the citizens remain a top priority at all times.
