A Former presidential aide, Laolu Akande, has described the ongoing national strike as a “distraction” and cautioned that the nation has bigger problems to deal with especially the current hardship being faced by Nigerians and the fiscal crisis of the Federal Government.
Featuring on Channels TV’s “Politics Today” on Tuesday, Akande appealed to the President to put an end to myriad national problems compounded by the national strike saying leaders are elected to deal with crises.
He advised an immediate intervention from the Presidency in the circumstances, saying all it requires is a simple phone call from to invite labour leaders for a meeting and fix the problems.
He explained that punishing the whole country for what happened in Imo State is not the right decision on the part of the labour movement.
He also noted that a single phone call from the Villa to the Labour leaders would likely solve the issue.
