PDP’s Ben Bruce blasts NLC over planned strike, says Tinubu policies are working.
Former Bayelsa senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, has criticized the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over its proposed nationwide strike.
In a tweet, the businessman noted that President Bola Tinubu’s reforms have begun yielding fruits adding that Nigeria must not go down due to the attack on the NLC president in Imo State.
“A national strike over a local issue in Imo is not what Nigeria needs right now. The reforms are working. The Naira is responding to such reforms. Multiple banks have declared record profits,” Bruce said.
“The manufacturing sector has begun to adjust, meaning that jobs will be created. To rock the boat now is not in the national interest.
“Let us think beyond ourselves and our allies. Nigeria must not go down because of what went down in Imo”.

Ajaero was arrested by armed policemen while carrying out a state-wide protest last Wednesday, in Owerri, the Imo state capital.
