MAY DAY: PDP CAUTIONS APC,FG AGAINST BULLYING,VICTIMIZATION+SALUTES NIGERIAN WORKERS.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

    April 30, 2019 Press Statement The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) salutes all Nigerian workers on the occasion of 2019 Workers Day, for their service towards the stability and development of our dear nation. The party also acknowledges the patriotism and resilience of the workers, particularly for remaining steadfast to the course of nation building, in spite of the harsh economic conditions foisted on them by the overtly corrupt, incompetent and grossly insensitive President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration. It is rather unfortunate that Nigerian workers found themselves operating under an inept administration that does not appreciate their inputs; that has no tangible strategy for their much-needed capacity building and reward system, but only relishes in Greek gifts and official bullying. The PDP cautions against such unproductive tendencies, adding that the N30,000 minimum wage should not be a justification for any form of bullying
