Former presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe, on Friday described the shutting down of the national grid by organized labour during the one-day nationwide strike, as evil.
Recall that the nation was thrown into darkness following the nationwide strike called by NLC and TUC.
But reacting to the activities of the organized labour in the ugly action, Okupe said it was distasteful. He said it was evil and sinful for labour to have switched off the national grid during the nationwide strike.
The former National Republican Convention, NRC, National Chairman stated this on Monday.
Recall that organized labour declared an indefinite strike to push for a new national minimum wage.
The strike led to Nigeria being thrown into darkness as labour supervised the switching off of the national grid.
However, the former spokesman of the Obi-Datti presidential campaign council described the action of labour as unacceptable.
Okupe disclosed this while fielding questions on Channels Television Politics Today on Friday.
He said, “In Nigeria today, people are losing the sense of what is right or wrong. You can’t go and switch off the national grid of a nation. It is unacceptable.
“But I also do not blame Labour; the situation should never have arisen. We have a government in place. Where is the security? Where is the intelligence? People are taking politics too far. You have a point to make but you should not grind the government to a halt.
“Labour went off course by shutting off the national grid. That is evil. It is sinful and unacceptable,” he said.
