Borno South Senator, Ali Ndume, has called on President Bola Tinubu to sign an executive order towards resolving the crisis between Dangote Refinery and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN.
Ndume said he won’t mind if Tinubu acts like a dictator in ensuring that the crisis is resolved.
On Saturday, PENGASSAN ordered its members to down tools over the sack of 800 workers by Dangote Refinery.
Reacting, Ndume appealed to the president to take firm action and dissolve the union.
Featuring on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Monday, Ndume said: “The best thing is for the president to sign an executive order calling them off.
“He has the right to dissolve them. In this case, I don’t mind if he acts like a dictator because some situations require very drastic measures.”
He accused PENGASSAN of serving private interest rather than that of the public.
Ndume said he has long opposed “so-called unionism” that prioritises the benefits of a few individuals at the expense of the country.
