Fuel subsidy has never been of benefit to the masses of the South East, it has only been beneficial to the rich and the economic saboteurs in the land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is on that premise that I come to you once again to resist the attempt to be blindly lured to shut down our region for a fight that will not benefit the ordinary people of the South East. The South East should rather focus on our immediate challenges to activate our God-given ingenuity to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Metuh further called on members of the region to use the energies of their Labour fronts to get the current administration to address issue of insecurity, economic retrogression in the South East as well as unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu from incarceration.<\/p>\n<p>He said these were imperatives that were disregarded, ignored and even encouraged by the last administration.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAs the people are being asked to make sacrifices and without prejudice to the petitions in the Presidential Election Petition Court, I call on President Tinubu to show leadership by immediately taking steps to ameliorate the suffering of Nigerians by cutting down on the size of government, end profligacy associated with governments and channel the resources to projects, amenities and facilities that directly impact on the wellbeing of the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot remove subsidy on fuel and still continue to subsidize the lavish lifestyle of political office holders, spend government money to maintain the luxury presidential fleet, service posh government houses, buy expensive vehicles, secure luxury apartments and finance wasteful trips for government functionaries to the detriment of the wellbeing of the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe end to subsidy on petrol must mark the end to luxury government guest houses, long convoys, hiring of private jets by governors and public officers, foreign medical trips and jumbo allowances for political office holders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said President Bola Tinubu must be ready to cut the budget of the Presidential Villa by removing luxury items.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe must reduce the number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/09\/19\/nnamdi-kanu-igbo-treated-unfairly-says-metuh\/\">Presidential aides and appoint ministers<\/a>, special advisers and other aides who are ready to forgo luxury cars, expensive accommodations and fat allowances but, instead, be ready to live with the people and make do with public amenities and facilities with other Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI urge the South East Chapter of the NLC to review their stand to shut down our region for a protest that benefits the oppressors and not the oppressed. The life wire of the South East is our entrepreneurial spirit that thrives on daily commercial life and which, we must not repress by shutting down our own homeland that has been greatly impoverished by sponsored security challenges,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olisa Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of the People&#8217;s Democratic Party, has urged the south-east chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress to withdraw from the proposed strike action in response to President Bola Tinubu&#8217;s announcement that fuel subsidies would be removed.
