Less than three days to the general election, Nigerian workers under the umbrella of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) have pitch their tent with the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP) Peter Obi.
The Labour Union disclosed this during its inaugural meeting held on Wednesday by its National Administrative Council.
Delivering his speech, the NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, said that Mr Obi is the first presidential candidate of Labour Party to be recognised by the Labour Union.
In Wabba’s words, “We wish to refer to the resolution of the inaugural meeting of the NAC of the NLC directing workers and indeed all Nigerians to come out en masse to perform their civic duties by voting in the forthcoming elections and taking decisive steps to safeguard their votes.
“The NLC had also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure that the electoral processes are not only transparent and fair but reflect the wishes of Nigerian people.
“This is a clarion call to all workers and working people that as we approach the final push towards the forthcoming presidential election come February 25, 2023, we should ensure a massive turnout of votes for the success of the Labour Party in line with an earlier resolution of the National Executive Council,” the union said.
Recall that Benue state Governor, Samel Ortom, TY Danjuma,. Former president Obasanjo, PA.Adebanjo and a section of Afenifere youths had earlier endorsed Peter Obi to lead Nigeria in next political dispensation.
