Okonkwo Rejects Obi’s Demand for Apology, Insists on Allegations Over NDC Primaries A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has rejected a demand by Peter Obi for a retraction and apology over comments concerning the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) primary elections. Okonkwo, in a response to a pre-action notice issued by Obi, maintained that he would not withdraw remarks made during a recent appearance on Channels Television, insisting that his comments were based on complaints allegedly brought to him by party aspirants and other sources.

 Jonathan, Buhari's Administrations Far Better Than Tinubu's  - NLC


The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said the Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari administrations were far better in terms of governance and economic management than the present government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


The disclosure was made in an exclusive interview with Daily Trust on Friday by NLC Spokesperson Benson Upah.


The labour body praised former President Buhari for his accommodating nature and efforts to ensure stability and good living conditions for Nigerians.


Upah condemned the removal of fuel subsidy by the Tinubu government, stating that the president failed to consider the devastating consequences of the policy on ordinary Nigerians.


The NLC spokesman also drew a contrast between the economic indices of the Jonathan administration and the current government. He made mention of the alarming depreciation of the naira, soaring interest rates, and skyrocketing debt in the country.


“I keep telling people who say Buhari was the worst that they are joking,” Upah said. “For us at Labour, we found Buhari very accommodating. He did everything humanly possible to ensure that life was stable and good.”


Upah recalled how Buhari provided financial assistance to states to clear salary and pension arrears and made other interventions to mitigate the effects of economic hardship.


“If you ask those same people now, they will tell you that the Buhari administration was very good. We are talking about less than two years ago. Before Buhari came, it was Jonathan. We said Jonathan had messed up this country, but now look at the indices and compare the exchange rate, the interest rate, the debt.”
