President Bola Tinubu stirred the pot during the inauguration of Lagos's Red Line Rail, aiming at labor unions just days after their nationwide protest. Tinubu, addressing the NLC, NUC, and TUC, criticized their early strikes, saying, "Wait until 2027 if you want to participate in elections. Maintain peace; you are not the only voice of Nigerians."
Apart from the labor unions, Tinubu praised the completion of the Red Line Rail, emphasizing effective leadership. He also assured Nigerians that despite challenges, progress is possible, promising a crackdown on corruption to benefit education, healthcare, and transportation.
Tinubu's bold statements have sparked nationwide debates, adding a political twist to what was supposed to be a celebratory moment for Lagos's new Red Line Rail.
