On May 29, the heavens opened and touched Abuja earth, marking the beginning of a new era and a new president. The rain and calm weather set the stage for a new era, with the end of prophesies and the beginning of a week of audacity. President Bola Tinubu's speech called for unity and the belief that without working together, we could not tackle the problems bedeviling us. Labour upstarts in Nigeria are fueling the fire, with marketers hiking fuel pump prices and profiting from scarcity. NLC president Joe Ajaero's hypocrisy and lack of cooperative unity are evident. He should learn from the history of labour and its interactions with politics, as movements do not follow political parties.
