Temokun lamented that Nigerians are left with no alternative but to continue where their cries stopped. He noted that the government might go to court to get an interim order to restrain the Nigeria Labour Congress from embarking on an industrial action or strike, but added that no court can restrain the people of Nigeria from crying out when their lives are being threatened by government policies.
He said,"From the social and economic angle, the issues confronting us today are more monstrous and more life-threatening than in Buhari's days. Prices of goods must rise as the government has set a precursor for uncontrollable inflation, while income has remained stagnant. "The government might run ahead to court to get interim order to restrain the NLC from embarking on industrial action or strike, but no court can restrain the people of Nigeria from crying out when their lives are threatened by government policies.
"If Nigeria must progress to the comity of civilized democracy, the culture of running ahead of the organized labour to court each time to obtain an order that has the capacity of eroding the constitutional rights to strike or to protest must not become the hallmark of any democratic government.
