Workers’ Day: PDP Salutes, Rallies Workers Against APC
As Nigeria marks Workers Day, the Peoples Democratic Party has urged workers to keep hope alive just as it blamed the All Progressives Congress-led administration for the state of affairs in the country.
The party stated this while praising Nigerian workers for their patriotism, patience and determination towards nation-building in spite of what it called the asphyxiating environment under the vicious, rudderless, inhumane and corrupt All APC-led administration that has no regard for Nigerians and particularly the workers.
In a statement to mark the day, the national public secretary of PDP, Debo Ologunagba, said workers as real drivers of national life represent that Nigerian resilient spirit and fight for survival in resolve to move the nation forward despite the misrule of the APC.
He described as lamentable that the arrogance in failure and insensitivity of the APC government towards the welfare of workers continue to dislocate the country’s social order and cripple the 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,” he said.
The PDP called upon the federal government to immediately attend to the industrial action by lecturers in 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.
“Our party however calls 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 our nation from the misrule of the APC,” the statement added.
