Reject Bill on NLC, CNPP Urges N/Assembly Conference of Nigeria Political Parties, the umbrella body of opposition political parties has called on the National Assembly to reject the new bill aimed at decentralising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). The proposed NLC bill was sent to the National Assembly last week by President Olusegun Obasanjo. CNPP in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Osita Okechukwu, said, "The challenge before the members of the National Assembly is to reject the bill or register their names in the hall of infamy." CNPP also called on Nigerians to show solidarity and support the NLC and gird their loins in the battle ahead to save Nigeria from the vicious grip of a dictator. "After a careful analysis of Obasanjo's Bill to proscribe and decentralise NLC, we came to the inevitable conclusion that the Bill is the final phase of the fascist regime's dirty war to strangulate, emasculate, incapacitate and fractionalise the Adams Oshiomhole led NLC." The statement said it was worried that those who did not work for the return of democracy are those reaping its benefits. CNPP queried the rationale behind the bill to decentralise NLC asking whether, "NLC stopped the President from rehabilitating the refineries or the decentralization of NLC will ensure a lower price of petroleum products in Nigeria." It further asked whether the decentralisation of NLC will solve the $700 million scam involved in the turn around maintenance of the refineries. CNPP also accused government of being anti-people and inhuman in its policies saying, "we make bold to reaffirm that the failure of the government to use fraction of excess crude oil to subsidise local consumption nor fix the refineries is not only reckless, unpatriotic, but anti-people and inhuman, more so when available records show that the importation of fuel products is preferred, as its favours the cronies of the regime.
