The gate to the National Assembly was pulled down some hours ago by protesters who marched on the complex to protest the fuel subsidy removal by the federal government.
The first victim of the “rage” of the protesters, on Wednesday morning, was the barricade at the outer entrance to NASS complex in Abuja.
The protesters pulled down the first gate of the National Assembly. They subsequently converged on the premises.
Immediate past President of NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, addressed protesters in Abuja.
He berated successive governments for the failure to fix Nigeria’s oil refineries.
He queried why the Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna refineries have not been fixed in spite of the many promises made by the federal government.
He lamented the fact that Nigeria was the only oil producing country in the world that did not have a single functional refinery.
He accused the political elite and the cohort of elite consensus (businessmen collaborators) of stripping the country of her wealth.
According to him, “the rich few are holding Nigeria by the throat. They are milking the poor dry.”
