Charly Boy Reveals Plans To Support NLC in The Ongoing Strike

Veteran musician Charles Oputa, often known as Charly Boy, has announced plans to support the trade unions during their current strike.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) went on indefinite strike on Monday to push the government to agree on a new minimum wage for workers and reconsider the hike in energy prices for select consumers.

However, labor unions agreed with the federal government on a new national minimum wage late Monday, implying that the strike could end shortly.

While the new minimum salary was not defined, all parties agreed that the federal government would commit to a higher value than the present N60,000.

Charly Boy responded on Tuesday morning, saying he would gather 90% of Nigeria's power bikers for a demonstration in Abuja in favor of labor unions if they did not stop the strike by next week.

On his X handle, he wrote in Pidgin: “If NLC no f**k up and cancel this strike by next week. I go mobilize 90% of Nigerians Power Bikers. We go storm Abuja, if heaven go fall or the devil go land. We will say, bring it on.

I just don tire. Yeye dey smell.”
