The Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate in Imo State, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu, on Monday, charged the leadership of organized labour to hold the All Progressives Congress, APC, responsible for the pitiable condition of some of its members in various states of the federation.
Anyanwu, a former senator and national secretary of the PDP, stated this in a statement made available to DAILY POST by Ikenna Onuoha, his media aide.
He lamented that despite the enormous contribution of workers in the improvement of the economy, the APC administration and its agents are doing everything possible to scuttle their efforts for a better society.

He further said, “It is inhuman and uncivilized for the APC government to treat workers’ welfare with disdain, noting that until its administration is sacked and sent packing, it will be impossible for workers to access or enjoy their genuine benefits.”
He said since part of organized labour’s primary role is to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of an average working class, create awareness about their rights, and protect them from exploitation, harassment, and intimidation, its leadership should immediately work towards achieving the feat.
He commended workers all over the world for being humble, dedicated, and meticulous to their fatherland, and charged the government at all levels to make their welfare a major priority in their program.
While congratulating them on the occasion of the 2023 International Workers’ Day celebration, Anyanwu condemned in its entirety, the challenging experience workers are undergoing in Nigeria as a result of APC’s bad governance, abuse of human rights, and neglect of international best practices.
He urged them to remain prayerful that such a distasteful situation they are currently witnessing will be a thing of the past.
