Speaking exclusively in Lagos, the general secretary of the Association of Nigeria Aviation Professionals (ANAP) Comrade AbdulRasaq Saidu, warned that that country has entered into the imperialist system of government
According to him, happenings in the country, such as the poor minimum wage, exchange rate, political instability and the economic downturn that are currently witnessed have made Nigerians poorer than before and pointers to imperialism.

He condemned the high level of insecurity in the country saying, that killings and kidnappings have become the order of the day without control from the security agencies
“The insecurity in the country has made life unbearable in this country. Hence there is ‘Japa’ syndrome in the country. Unless we must take our destiny in our hands, we don’t have people to save us from the yoke of imperialism. Nigeria has entered into the imperialism system of government and we can not allow it to continue”
Saidu cited an instance where government spend huge amounts of money to reposition airports and set to concession such airports saying it was slavery.

“These are the things the National Assembly should look at and not to be fighting each other. We know that the previous National Assembly members were independent and challenged the policies of government but this one now are not for the people” Saidu declared.
Saidu stated that Labour has weakened the power of governance and the institute that is supposed to enforce laws
He said the economic, social life and political life of Nigerians has worsening and called on Nigerians to wake up and fight for their right through a united front.
The ANAP scribe urged workers to unite and fight the war of capitalism and neo colonialism to free Nigerians from the yoke of foreign detatorship being introduced into the country.
“There is nothing in this world that matters in motion and the matter in motion is economic survival, freedom of economy. We can be having government and not producing anything and taking of oil everyday”
