THE Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has accused his fellow governors of abandoning his administration in its face-off with the Nigeria Labour Congress.
El-Rufai said this during a virtual meeting of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum on Wednesday.
Also at the meeting, a committee set up by the NGF recommended a petrol price of between N408.5 per litre and N380 per litre. It called for immediate removal of fuel subsidy.
Before the committee submitted its report, El-Rufai had berated the forum.
He also accused an unnamed governor of providing mobilisation funds for the NLC to destabilise Kaduna State.
Workers in the state workers had on Monday begun a five-day strike over El-Rufai administration’s retrenchment of 45,000 workers and the alleged anti-labour policies.
There was confusion in the state on Tuesday as thugs attacked workers at a rally organised by the NLC prompting the congress to issue a statement, where it threatened to declare a nationwide strike.
El-Rufai had earlier on Tuesday declared the NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, wanted for allegedly sabotaging the economy of the state.
Baring his mind at the NGF meeting on Wednesday, El-Rufai said he did not get the required support from his colleagues.
