NLC and TUC Should Name Appropriate Price and Begin Mass
Mobilisation for its Actualisation
PRESS STATEMENT
We
of the Socialist Party of Nigeria (SPN) view the recent N10 reduction in the
price of petrol from N97 per liter to N87 as cynical and tokenist. We support
the positions of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress that
the reduction does not reflect the fall in the price in the global oil market.
We
also hold that the position of the campaign organization of Muhammadu Buhari,
the presidential candidate of the All Progressives' Congress (APC), that calls
for total deregulation and cancellation of subsidy in the downstream sector of
petroleum industry (Guardian, Tuesday January 20, 2015) is a confirmation of
the fact that both APC and PDP subscribe to the same anti-poor neo-liberal
capitalist policies. This shows that Buhari, whose candidature has been boosted
by a mass illusion, will unleash the same neo-liberal attacks such as
deregulation, privatization among others on the working people and the poor as
being currently done by President Jonathan government, if elected into power.
We
however hold that it is not enough for the labour leadership to call for
further reduction in petrol price. They should demand the appropriate amounts
that the prices of petrol as well as kerosene and diesel must be reduced to,
and issue a 2-week ultimatum to the federal government to meet the demand
failing which there should be a one-day warning strike and mass protest as the
first step. They should start mass mobilization of the working people and
youths for the proposed action immediately.
It
is imperative to stress the fact that the so-called invisible hands of market
forces have not automatically engendered reduction in the price of diesel,
which has been deregulated, despite the slump in crude oil price. This shows
that the deregulation policy of the government is a monumental fraud and exploitation.
Besides, the regulated price of Kerosene that is supposed to be sold for N50
per liter is currently being sold for about N120 and yet Kerosene is being
subsidized. Therefore, the labour leadership must link the demand for reduction
in fuel prices with struggle against anti-poor policies of deregulation and
privatization. This must also go side by side with the demand for comprehensive
repair of the existing refineries and building of new ones as well as putting
them and Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as a whole under a
democratic control of workers and relevant professionals. However, given the
parasitic and anti-poor character of Nigerian capitalist ruling elite, it is
only a pro-working people government that can implement these demands on a
lasting basis.
This
has therefore raised the question of a formidable mass working people political
alternative on a socialist program that could wrest power from the thieving
capitalist ruling elite. This is why we in the SPN combine the struggle for
registration and building of our party which offers a striking example of
working peoples' alternative with the campaign for a mass working peoples'
political party within the broader labour movement. We therefore reiterate our
call on the leadership of NLC and TUC to convene a conference of labour,
socialist, youths and pro-masses organizations to discuss the formation and
building of such party.
