The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lauded Nigerian Workers for their patriotism, patience and determination towards nation building in spite of the asphyxiating environment under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration that has no regard for Nigerian workers.
The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Dapo Ologunagba in a statement on Sunday said that Nigerian workers as real drivers of national life represent Nigerian resilient spirit and fight for survival in it’s resolve to move the nation forward despite the misrule of the APC.
The party lamented that the failure and insensitivity of the APC government towards the welfare of workers continue to dislocate Social Order and cripple major productive sectors with grave negative ripple effect on millions of families and the nation at large.
“The deliberate general stagnation on issues of the welfare of workers reflects the ugly reality in our nation under a government that apparently relishes the suffering of its citizens.
“Such selfish inattentiveness, corruption and incompetence of the APC administration is responsible for the closure of our public universities as the government continues in its brazen failure to attend to the demands of striking university lecturers and millions of stranded university students in our country”.
The PDP called upon the Federal Government to immediately attend to the industrial action by lecturers in the public universities so as to halt an imminent collapse of public education sector.
“Our Party however cautions the APC administration not to continue to take the calmness and patriotism of Nigerian Workers, as they eagerly await the exit of the APC from government in 2023, as a sign of weakness.
“Our caution is predicated on the clear signals that the APC in its arrogance in failure has not demonstrated any concrete commitment towards improving on the welfare of the people. Instead, the APC administration, typical of its style continues to renege on the promises for improved workers’ welfare” PDP said.
The party called on the workers and indeed all Nigerians to remain calm and keep hope alive as the PDP takes strong steps to democratically return to power in 2023 to Rescue and Rebuild the nation.
