LAGOS—The Congress for
Progressive Change (CPC) has
dismissed the call for the sack of
Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi as governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria, CBN by the Nigeria
Labour Congress as self-serving. The party said the labour
leadership’s call was only aimed
at winning back popular support
after the same leadership
betrayed the masses when it
unceremoniously surrendered at the peak of the popular revolt
against the hike in fuel prices at
the beginning of the year. The NLC had on Wednesday
called for Sanusi’s sack upon his
submission that the civil service
be trimmed for the purpose of
fiscal discipline. In a statement issued by the
party’s national publicity
secretary, Engr. Rotimi Fashakin,
the CPC, nevertheless, upbraided
the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP for mismanaging the economy. “Whilst we do not agree that the
cause of the exorbitant
recurrent expenditure is wholly
due to the size of the public
service work-force and that the
sacking of half its size is the solution to the identified
problem, we believe the call for
the call for the sacking of the
forthright Public officer for
volunteering his personal opinion
is equally preposterous. It is our belief that the fiscal indiscipline
of this Jonathan-led
administration has exacerbated
the Nation’s malaise!” “We equally believe that rather
vilifying the CBN governor for the
commentary, this should throw
up meaningful discourse on
extricating the Nation from the
financial recklessness of this PDP-led Federal Government.” “In
the first place, the CBN governor
is not in a position to implement
policy for sacking the Nation’s
public servants. At best, Mallam
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi aired his personal opinion. We are at a loss
at the nexus between his
personal opinion and the
strident call for his sack, except
there are other sinister
underpinnings in this call.” “As a Party, we have equally
taken note of the ignominious
manner this present crop of
Labour leadership truncated, in
January 2012, the people’s
popular refusal to yield to the exploitative tendencies of the
Nation’s rulers. In the course of
scuttling the people’s revolt,
some of these Labour leaders
got appointed into some dodgy
committees that were not primed to achieve result. This is why we
view this call by the Labour
leaders for Sanusi’s sack as a
cheap, opportunistic (albeit
languid) ploy to crawl back to
the people’s reckoning.” “We believe that responsible
leadership is about selflessness
and consistency. We advise the
Nation’s Labour leaders to
critically examine the policies of
governments (Federal and State) that impinge on the well-being of
the people instead of looking for
scape-goat for cheap populism.”

NLC | Betrayal

The masses have forgiven NLC, but will never forget.....

CPC is the political arm of Boko Haram.
It is an Arewa thing.

CPC is simply saying, "Touch not our son".

Fighting for their Sharia Malam turned CBN governor, is natural.

If the CBN governor happened to be Soludo, would CPC attack NLC?

Emm, Uloma! Uloma!!!, go and get me ink,I want to print my "Made in Biafra" label.
I want to see what it looks like on paper.

Sanusi do certainly has
the rigiht to air his views. The c
also has the right to air their
views. The nigeria labour congr
has right to air its views. Having
said that, my esan people will sa a bad word is an invitation of sl
to the face. It is motorpark
economic policies that will call f
the sack of 50 percent of the
nation work force to create
wealth for capital development. What our leaders take home as
salaries, allowances and other
frivolities associated with their
highly unproductive offices can
take care of our infrastructure
What happened to all the monie budgeted for these
infrastructures annually? Did th
go for workers salaries too? Th
government should see sanusi c
as a wake up call, to sack all th
ghost workers in our civil servic and bring those milking the
country dry with it to book. The
duplication of duties in the nam
of ministers, special advisers an
what have you should be done
away with. I agree wiht the cpc some extend that the present
crop of nlc leaders are a bundle
of disgrace to the world
leadership. The cpc should have
profers solutions to the proble
and not see this as a chance to score a cheap political goal
