He said in an interview with Channels TV, ”It is important at this junction that I clarify the discussion about the shutting down of the National Grid. When workers embark on withdrawal of service, you don’t expect them to still go to work. A strike connotes withdrawal of service. If we withdraw our service from the National Grid, the machine will not turn itself on. The machines will stop operating and that is what happened. Workers have withdrawn their services and so things will not work as they were working before.”
