The Njiko Igbo Forum (NIF) described the present administration as a government of fraud
The Njiko Igbo Forum (NIF) has thrown it’s weight behind the industrial action declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over the increase in the pump price of fuel.
The NIF president Rev. Okechukwu Obioha, on Wednesday, May 18, speaking in an interview with Daily Post, described the present administration as “a government of fraud and rigmarole,” adding that the President Muhammadu Buhari led administration had failed in fulfilling in any of its campaign promises.

Obioha urged the Ayuba Waba led NLC to ignore the industrial court’s ex-parte order. He said: “We can’t be talking of any court injunction because this is a government that does not respect rule of law. It has flouted so many judgements and orders of court; so we can’t be here talking about the black-market injunction obtained by the AGF.
“So, we are calling on all Nigerians to sit at home in protest; all the desperate measures by government to stop the strike should not be allowed.
“It is even quite curious that this same government is now recognizing Ajaero faction; the situation is like a lady who is good for friendship but not good for marriage. These are desperate measures.”
The group further accused the president of trying to silence the voice of opposition, stressing that “the government is confused; it has no direction; that’s why they don’t want anybody to talk. We are no longer practising democracy, we have a pseudo-military administration.”

Meanwhile, the NLC has vowed to go ahead with its scheduled nationwide strike today, May 18 after walking out of the meeting held with the representatives of the federal government. NLC said they were angered by the decision of the federal government to proceed to court, despite existing negotiation which was at the instance of the government.
The action of the NLC followed the failure of the parties to resolve the dispute over the increase of the pump price of petroleum by the Federal Government from N86.50 to N145 per litre.
