The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hailed all Nigerian workers on the occasion of 2019 Workers Day, for their service towards the stability and development of the nation.
The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, also acknowledged the patriotism and resilience of the workers, particularly for remaining steadfast to the course of nation building, in spite of the harsh economic conditions foisted on them “by the overtly corrupt, incompetent and grossly insensitive President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration”.
PDP regretted that Nigerian workers found themselves operating under an inept administration that did not appreciate their inputs; had no tangible strategy for their much-needed capacity building and reward system, but only relishes in Greek gifts and official bullying.
It however cautioned against such unproductive tendencies, adding that the N30,000 minimum wage should not be a justification for any form of bullying or victimization against the workers.
“The Buhari-led APC administration must elevate its discourse in understanding that workers welfare is not tied to a minimum wage but in creating conducive working environment, established capacity building and reward system as well as a secure and economically viable environment that enable the workers, and indeed all Nigerians to meet their social and economic needs without stress; as contained in the Atiku Abubakar Master Plan.
“It is however unfortunate that at the time Nigerian workers should have been getting ready to enjoy the benefits of a new order under Atiku Abubakar, the nation is being set back by the ills of electoral manipulations”.
The party nevertheless, urged the Nigerian workers not to be despondent, as the mandate, which was freely given to Atiku Abubakar, would be retrieved at the tribunal even as it called on the workers, as patriotic Nigerians, to continue to put in their best in serving the nation while wishing them a happy Workers Day.
