Peter Obi’s solidarity message to Nigerian workers at the Eagle Square, Abuja, on May I (Workers Day), 2023.
Text of Message below:
Today, I attended the Solidarity
Rally of the Nigerian Labour
Congress (NLC) in Abuja. I
believe that Labour remains the
backbone of productivity.
We cannot talk about moving from
consumption to production without
caring about the welfare and well-being
of the greatest tool of that revolution,
which is human labour.
I thank the leadership of the Nigerian
Labour (NLC and TUC) for their
invitation and commend them for the
theme of this year’s Workers Day
(“Workers Rights and Socio-Economic
Justice”) which is quite topical and very
apt for today’s Nigeria.
l urge them and every hardworking
Nigerian, to remain steadfast in the
course of building a better and New
Nigeria where there will be more jobs,
high productivity, security of lives and
properties, and everything that will
make Nigerians proud of their country.
