NLC Shuts Down Kaduna With ‘Hell Rufai’ Banner As They Protest Against Governor El-Rufai

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has described Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, as “Hell Rufai” as they embark on five days warning strike.

The labour union on Monday began an industrial strike, protesting the sack of thousands of workers by the Kaduna State Government.

They marched around with banners, one of them read: “Hell Rufai, stop poverty, hunger and insecurity. Stop the mass sack. Respect workers and human rights.”

The five-day warning strike, according to the Kaduna NLC chairman Ayuba Wabba, is for the government to reverse its decision and recall the sacked workers.

In solidarity with the protest by the the NLC, the Kaduna International Airport (KIA), Public hospitals, filling stations, and schools have all been shut.

Whatever the point you want to prove, you can prove it without calling him 'hell rufai' this is very disrespectful, the worst part is that it's coming from an organization like NLC, this is uncalled for. pic.twitter.com/vZqAvBCQ6T

When u have unsuitable representative & local government chairmen that are protecting the interest of their predecessors.

They electorates suffer the consequences at the end of the day.

Sometimes I blame the electorates when we say vote for competency.#Kadunastrike

KanyiDaily recalls that Governor El-Rufai had recently signed a law which stipulates surgical castration and removal of Fallopian tubes for any male or female found guilty of raping a child in Kaduna.
