The Labour Party (LP) Tuesday said that the recent upward adjustment of the pump price petrol to over N600 is just the beginning of more hardtimes to be faced by Nigerians under the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration.
A statement by the LP’s National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Obiora Ifoh, recalled LP’s earlier warnings that “the bourgeoisie government in place can only enrich the upper class and inflict penury on the proletariat”.
The statement lamented that, “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 Nigeria 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,” he stated.
