The Alliance on Surviving Covid 19 and Beyond (ASCAB) has threatened a nationwide strike should the Federal Government fail to bring to an end the scarcity of fuel and naira notes.
The group issued the threat in a statement signed by its interim Chairman, Femi Falana, SAN, on Monday and made available to Channels Television.
According to ASCAB, currency and fuel crises constitute an unprecedented challenge to economic survival of ordinary people that may threaten the 2023 elections which provide an opportunity for the people to choose a party considered to be representative of their aspirations.
“Unless the twin crises of fuel and currency scarcity are immediately resolved within the timeline given by the President, ASCAB has resolved to call on the Nigerian people to commence series of peaceful mass actions in their communities to resist the unjustifiable economic hardship which may compel postponement of the forthcoming elections as INEC has hinted.
“If the Federal Government fails to resolve the twin crises of fuel and currency scarcity before February 10, 2023 the country will witness nationwide peaceful mass actions by the Nigerian people,” ASCAB said.
