The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked workers to resist “anti-democratic” forces seeking to take control of the country.
In a statement issued on Monday to mark International Workers Day, Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson, commended the workforce for their loyalty and patriotism in serving the country.
The opposition party said workers have remained resilient despite the “humiliating, suffocating and somersaulting anti-people economic policies” of the current administration in the last eight years.
“The deliberate suppression of the rights, wellbeing and opportunities of Nigerian workers reflects the ugly reality of the inhumanity, insensitivity and callousness of the APC administration which relishes in inflicting pain and suffering on citizens,” the statement reads.
“The PDP notes that many Nigerians, especially workers are hurting over the outcome of the February 25, 2023 Presidential election which was characterized by multiple violations, manipulations, alteration of genuine election results and brazen subversion of the Will of the people.
“The Party charges Nigerian workers to use their strength and pivotal position in our country to protect and defend the Nation’s Constitutional Democracy from political manipulators who are desperate to dash the hope of Nigerians for a credible democratic leadership.
“The PDP continues to recognize the devotion of Nigerian workers as real drivers of our national life, particularly in voting en masse for our Party and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, at the 2023 Presidential election while assuring that it will not relent in its effort to retrieve the mandate at the Tribunal so that our nation can have a breath of fresh air which has eluded her in the last eight years.”
The PDP asked workers “not to resign to despondency but remain optimistic in the hope that the judiciary will right the wrong meted on our Nation so that Nigeria can return to the path of peace, political stability and economic prosperity”.
