In a statement signed by NLC President, Joe Ajaero on monday the congress also urged the downtrodden Nigerians who bear the marks or burden of those broken promises, exploitation and corruption not give up hope on their country.

The statement affirmed that despite the fact that Nigerians sacrifice has been taken for granted for so long, they should learn to protest within the limits of the law against injustices and subversion of democratic norms, culture and values by the dominant political elite.

The statement indicated that it should be apparent to the citizenry that the leading political elite are not ready to do the right thing except they are compelled to do so.
