May Day: Buhari’s Government Treating Nigerian Workers Like Medieval Slaves In Colonial Plantations - Atiku

Former Vice President of Nigeria and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the last election, Atiku Abubakar, has advised Nigerian workers to see this year's May Day as a. moment for sober reflection and stocktaking, in view of the myriad of socio-economic tribulations facing them in the last eight years of the Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress' administration.

The Wazirin Adamawa, in a message of solidarity to the nation's workforce, said the lives and welfare of workers and their families have been reduced to the abyss of mere existence due to the litany of policy errors by the ruling APC government, which created insecurity in all facets of workers' lives: food, shelter, health, wealth and education.

Despite the precarious situation, Atiku enjoined the workers not to despair and cowed, but to keep their heads above water and stay afloat, be resilient and hopeful; for the sake of the younger generation and the country's future.

"In Nigeria of today, the minimum wage of N30,000 cannot buy a full bag of rice, let alone cloth or pay for a worker's many utility bills. In fact, hyperinflation in all sectors of our nation has constituted serious socio-economic strangulation to the average Nigerian worker, who's now poorer than 2015 when APC came to power."

Atiku further extolled to virtues of hard work, perseverance, and endurance of the working people in the country.

"It is unimaginable how a government could be so heartless to treat its own bonafide citizens like medieval slaves in colonial plantations. Where are the so-called 'dividends of democracy'? Labourers do deserve commensurate wages that meet pervading economic conditions of the time. Alas, Nigerian workers now receive wages that can no longer take them home or bring them back to the office!", he lamented.

The former Vice President reminded the workers to stand together, with him, to legally reclaim their stolen mandate at the February 25 presidential polls.

"Hope is the breath that keeps people alive. Let's work together in unity of voice and purpose to retrieve our electoral victory through the law courts. Let's have faith that the judiciary would be fair and dispense unbiased justice."

Long live Nigerian workers, long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. 'Aluta continua, Victoria acerta'.

Buhari does not care about anything.....this is the most dangerous government in the political history of Nigeria...

Atiku

Looking for cheap points after election

Oga, You claim to have a large workforce under you, kindly avail their payroll.

Buhari is tired he wants to leave forgetting when he was disturbing Nigerians to vote for him claiming to have the strength to work.

Another old man is disturbing Nigerians claiming he has the strength to work just because of greed and selfishness.

How about Atiku give us exclusively documentary of how he treats his staffs better or like royalties

Peter Obi tew can take up the challenge, maybe its time they start showing us what are doing different

Buhari's scorecard to Nigerian workers.

I agree with Atiku on this, even the Northerners in IDP camp can testify to this.

You collect salary now under two weeks e don finish.

The same ATIKU that is already on his way back to Dubai

Last time I checked, Atiku who's one of the richest and most successful business men in Nigeria increased his workers salary in Nov 2018 to 33k close to his political season.
Prior to that, dude didn't consider inflation and all that stuff to his worker but now advising the govt.

Why not hustle on your own.
Nigeria is that country with massive opportunities to set up yourself unlike foreign countries where you work your ass out and live on debt servicing.

Na so e easy to hustle

Where is Alcameroonian speaking from?

Coming from Atiku, the same clown who sold all our government enterprises to his cronies for cheap, rendered millions of Nigerian workers jobless and even did not give them pensions or severance, thanks to Buhari for paying their pensions.

This Atiku man stinks and even disgust me more than pandora liar..

Atiku refused to criticise Buhari and his policies during the elections because he thought Buhari was working for him through the cabals to make him president.

Atiku eye don clear. He has been criticising anything Buhari after he lost the elections.

What Atiku said here’s very true
