The Nigeria Labour Congress has claimed that the administrations of Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari were superior to Bola Tinubu’s government.
In a Friday interview with Daily Trust, NLC Spokesperson Benson Upah praised former President Buhari for his efforts to maintain stability and quality of life. Upah criticized Tinubu’s removal of the fuel subsidy, arguing that the president failed to consider the broader consequences of his decision.
Upah also compared the exchange rates of Jonathan’s administration to those under the current government.
Upah said, “I keep telling people who say Buhari was the worst that they are joking. For us at Labour, we found Buhari very accommodating.
“He did everything humanly possible to ensure that life was stable and good. When he came in, he gave money to the states to pay the backlog of salaries and pensions, but it was diverted. He made other interventions to avoid the insane increases.
“If you ask those same people now, they will tell you that the Buhari administration was very good. We are talking about less than two years ago. Before Buhari came, it was Jonathan.
“We said Jonathan had messed up this country, but now look at the indices and compare the exchange rate, the interest rate, the debt. So, we are in a situation where we are progressively getting worse.”
