A former presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe, on Friday lashed out at the organised labour for shutting down the national grid during the one-day nationwide strike.

Okupe said it was evil and sinful for labour to have switched off the national grid during the nationwide strike.

On Monday, 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.

Appearing on Channels Television Politics Today, Okupe 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.”

Ajaero will be put on his place. Watch. Tinubu is very clever. He will always stoop to conquer. He needs the support of Nigerians so he will tolerate the misbehaviour and overt sabotage of Ajaero and co for now.

Once Tinubu's reforms start to bear fruit and Nigeria is on the up, positively impacting his popularity and helpinc him to consolidate power, the likes of Ajaero will be on a one-way ticket to jail trying this nonsense in future. Fairly predictable chain of events we have seen before and will see again and again.

The usual senseless talk. What else can anyone expect from you, each and every time, other than senseless talk. Ever heard of the saying "two wrongs dont make a right" ?

Smartcitizen:




Please just shut up abeg for goodness sake.

Most of you are just supporting your tribe man just because he is the president, can you say this when Jonathan was the president.

Hypocrisy is in your blood.
