It Can’t Work – Omokri Dismisses NLC Protests, Suggests Ways to End Hardship

 

Reno Omokri, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has reacted to the nationwide strike embarked upon by the Nigeria Labour Congress.

 

Recall that the strike was called over the high cost of living in the country.

 

The two-day nationwide protest earlier proposed by the Labour union, kicked off in Abuja, Lagos and other cities across the country on Tuesday.

 

The protesters are demanding immediate government intervention to tackle the growing economic crisis bedeviling the nation at the moment.

 

Reacting, Omokri, a former presidential aide, claimed the protest would not change the economic situation.

 

The PDP chieftain, however, reeled out two ways the country’s economy can be improved.

 

According to Reno, for the economy to improve, the 36 state governors should emulate the federal government and pay state workers wage awards.

 

He also pointed out the need for Nigerians to patronize locally made products as a means of strengthening the local currency which has continued to depreciate against the US dollars.

 

In a post on his official X handle, Reno said, “It is counterintuitive to protest in demand of an end to economic hardship.
