Resist Anti-People Tendencies Of APC Govt, PDP Tells Workers
By:People’s Voice Nigeria | News
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has called on Nigeria workers to resist the anti-people tendencies that seek to compromise and undermine the democratic tenets of freedom, rule of law, accountability and probity in the country.
PDP in a message to the workers on this year’s International Workers’ Day celebration, expressed concern that Nigeria workers and millions of other citizens have, in the last nine years been subjected to misery, harrowing economic hardship and worsening insecurity by the All Progressives Congress (APC) administrations.
The message by the PDP National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, blamed the economic difficulties in the country on the ill-implemented economic and fiscal policies of the APC. administration.
“The PDP particularly condemns the continuing increase in electricity tariff and price of petroleum products with petrol now selling at over N1000 per liter in various parts of the country; a situation that has resulted in astronomical increase in the cost of living and worsened the economic hardship in the country,” the party stated.
It demanded that the APC-led Federal Government should end its insensitivity towards Nigerians and use the occasion of the Workers’ Day to review all its retrogressive policies and take urgent action towards addressing issues that have direct bearing to the welfare of the citizens.
The party however urged Nigeria workers and other citizens of the country not to give up hope but remain steadfast in their commitment towards a stable, united and prosperous nation, especially at this challenging time.
