Senator Shehu of Kaduna state wrote this applauds to NUT and NLC on his Facebook timeline…

The Teachers strike in Kaduna state is a welcome development.I salute the courage of the Teachers Union and the NLC for this action.Its your moral and constitutional duty to protect and defend the rights of your members.Never succumb to threats or blackmail.No genuine progressive will stand against the rights of unions to protest or go on strike.You overcame abuse of power in the past,this too shall come to pass.You fought bitterly to restore democracy to Nigeria,you must not be intimidated the beneficiaries of your struggle.Power is transient.Stand firm in the defence of your ideals and principles.
