The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has said Nigeria cannot get anything right unless workers’ welfare is well taken care of.
Obi, who spoke on Monday at the commemoration of this year’s May Day celebrations at the Eagle Square, Abuja, noted that this is the reason he is insisting on moving the country from consumption to production.
He urged the workers to “continue what they are doing, continue to be law-abiding and peaceful for the country, adding that Nigerians have no other country which he said citizens must build for their children.
The former Anambra State governor, who said he was at the event in solidarity with workers as a worker himself, thanked leaders of the organised labour for extending an invitation to him.
