TUC kicks off promo for Buhari’s second term

Less than one year into his current tenure, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) seems to have ostensibly kicked off a move to campaign for a second tenure of another four years for President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to the union, the pace at which President Buhari’s administration is moving, its plan to achieve developmental goals cannot be done in just four years, and will need another four years to bring them to fruition.

TUC President, Boboi Kaigama stated in Jalingo, Taraba State, while speaking on national issues argued that the anti-corruption crusade of Buhari was a welcome development, but that the president would take a long time to lay foundation for good governance.

He therefore called on the president to start thinking of another four years: “President Buhari has a good intention to put Nigeria in good shape but the pace at which he is moving, it is difficult for him to actualize the dream in just four years. He should start thinking of another four years after his first tenure.

According to him, Buhari may end up handing over to a wrong person, if he is not careful, given that “The PDP governed the country for eight years, for another political party to come and take over then restructure the machineries for change may not be in just two years”.

He also spoke on the recent increase in electricity tariff insisting that labour would continue to reject it, as it is not only “wicked, but condemnable and unacceptable to the union”

He said, “They wanted to increase the tariff but they refused to do extensive consultations as demanded by the rules, we are going to reject it till the right thing is done”
