- LP says the ruling party is only interested in feeding fat on the country’s commonwealth
- It describes the N8,000 palliative for a household as ‘obnoxious’
The Labour Party has chastised the president Bola Tinubu-led federal government for its insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians.
The opposition party said this in reaction to the latest adjustment in the pump price of petroleum products.
The party noted the latest increment is just the beginning of the hard times Nigerians will be facing under the APC-led government.
The party recalled how it earlier cautioned Nigerians against believing the dummy being sold to them by the APC administration about the withdrawal of fuel subsidy, saying the ruling party had no plan in place to ameliorate their sufferings.
It noted that the ruling party is only interested in feeding fat on the country’s commonwealth and enriching the elites while the working class are further impoverished.
LP, in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, said: “The Labour Party had earlier warned that the bourgeoisie government in place can only enrich the upper class and inflict penury on the proletariat.
“You offer a paltry N8,000 to a family of five and extract all they have laboured for through obnoxious policies.
“Nigerians do not deserve what they are getting from the present government. The Labour Party condemns the attitude of the government to its people. This is even coming at a time the Nigerian currency has continued to devalue under the watch of this government.
“We are however optimistic that Nigeria will overcome the Taskmaster of our time. We will soon witness the Promised Land.”
