The threat by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) not to remit money into the federation account in May is an attempt to blackmail both federal and state governments into accepting deregulation policy of the downstream sector, human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has said.

At a lecture delivered in honour of Prof. Omotoye Olorode in Abuja, yesterday, Falana said Federal Government should compel NNPC to “return unremitted money between 2010 and 2014 and another N94 trillion oil money held by oil operators.”

“But Nigerians must tell government that there are alternative sources. We have written to the President about how government can recover the N94 billion. We are going to insist now that recovering this money is the way to go.” The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, also lambasted labour movement for abandoning the traditions of the founding fathers such as Michael Imoudu, Nduka Eze, Wahab Goodluck, Hassan Sunmonu and Ali Chiroma.He submitted that erosion of labour tradition started in Pascal Bafyau era, noting that the movement has continually suffered lack of clear-headed, unambiguous and principled stand on national development from Bafyau to Adams Oshiomhole, down to Abdulwahed Omar and presently under Ayuba Wabba.
