Speaking for NLC\/TUC, former Chairman of NLC in Cross River State, John Ushie said the union\u2019s insistence against subsidy removal is constant.<\/p>\n

He spoke in Calabar during the Labour Party campaign, saying, \u201cWe are completely against the removal of fuel subsidy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very wrong for any government to even contemplate it.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet the government fix all the nation\u2019s refineries first of all before they can begin to think about subsidy removal. Let the government think towards refining our crude oil locally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, phone-in callers over Sparkling FM radio in Calabar equally blamed Tinubu, reminding him that when Dr Goodluck Jonathan he had campaigned against subsidy removal.<\/p>\n
