The former Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum, Salihu Lukman, has accused the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) of politicising the removal of fuel subsidy.
In a statement published yesterday, Mr Lukman urged the union to rise above what he describes as the narrow sentiment of playing to the gallery on the issue.

He admits that there are gaps in the proposals made by the government to cushion the effects of subsidy removal, but maintains that the NLC posture on the issue is unacceptable and will not augur well for the nation’s democracy.
Mr Lukman, who is also a former National Vice Chairman North West of the APC, applauded President Bola Tinubu for finding it compelling to address the nation.
