The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) declared that it will be embarking on a two-day protest against economic hardship in the country and truthfully, the protest started today in almost every state in the country.
In some states, activities were crippled because of the massive turnout of protesters that stormed the streets to register their displeasure in the Nigerian government for their inability to lift the country out of an economic pandemic.
Meanwhile, Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele had warned even before President Tinubu became the president that there will be massive protests against economic hardship because the administration will not get it right in several sectors.
Since President Tinubu got into power, Primate Ayodele has advised him severally about the current situation of the country. The prophet warned him some months ago saying that there will be more confusion about the economy in February 2024.
Apart from mentioning the month when it will be more difficult, Primate Ayodele made it known that there will be a protest in terms of economic hardship.
These were his words; “There will be more confusion about the economy in February 2024 on what to do to make it better. There is a lot of things the government needs to do in order to get it right otherwise I am seeing protest coming in terms of economy and the situation the country is passing through.”
True to his words, the NLC nationwide protest which kicked off today was tagged ‘An economic hardship protest’ in recognition of the situation Nigeria is currently in.
It would also be recalled that Primate Ayodele warned Nigerians in 2022 against voting another APC government in 2023. He stated that another APC government will lead to serious economic hardship for the country. He stated then that the hardship Nigerians would experience will be more than that of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
“I’m not saying anyone should not insult me; I am not scared of any human being. If Nigeria votes APC in 2023, things will be tougher. We will see human beings and want to eat them like food. This is how God told me. I am not saying you should not criticise me or say anything against me, even as an APC member; I warned you in 2015 too. If you want to vote for lies in 2023, if you vote for the party that has a broom as their symbol, I pity churches. I am not against anybody, and I don’t vote. Nigeria will be tough. If you vote and Tinubu enters, there will be serious problems.”
“If Nigerians vote for APC in 2023, the country will sink, we will swim in poverty, and the economy will be in shambles. If the APC wins, Nigeria will suffer extraordinarily. We have not yet seen hardship; if APC wins, the real hardship will come. The economy will be sick.”
