The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) on Tuesday urged Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai to stop the blame game over his failure of managing the industrial crisis created by him.
NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, said this in a statement on Tuesday.
Wabba was reacting to El-Rufai statement that the NLC was bankrolled by a state governor to carry out its recent protest in Kaduna.
He said Nigerian workers do not need financial leverage from a state governor or any other person from carrying out its campaigns or activities, as El-Rufai erroneously alleged.
“Since Mr Nasir ELRufai sacked thousands of Kaduna State workers, he has blamed virtually everyone for his industrial malfeasance,” Waba said.
“First, while denying that he sacked any worker, the governor accused and blamed the Nigeria Labour Congress for making its case based on a false document.
“In the same breath, the governor affirmed that he is on a mission of right-sizing and downsizing the Kaduna State Public Service. In recent videos, Mr E-Rufai has blamed the Federal Government for not rallying to his support during the protest by workers. When that failed to gain traction, El-Rufai blamed his colleagues in the Nigeria Governors Forum.
“Now, he has narrowed his blame arrow on the Kano State governor, alleging that it was H.E Dr. Umar Ganduje who provided NLC with the funds to prosecute our last peaceful protest in Kaduna state. This is not unexpected for someone in perpetual hallucination.”
