The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has felicitated Nigerian workers on the occasion of the Workers’ Day celebration while urging them to hold onto the values that encourage productivity.
In his message to workers, Obi encouraged Nigerian workers to see their jobs as channels for contributing to nation-building.
He explained that the nation would grow and develop more if Nigerians understand that the task of nation-building is for everyone.
He argued that Nigeria is gifted with a hardworking workforce, desirous of the country’s development.
He explained that not minding poor workers’ welfare in the nation, the workers had continued to labour for the nation.
Obi pointedly told the workers not to be disheartened by the many challenges that, today, pervad the economic and political spaces.
He urged everyone to remain focused on building a more productive and prosperous nation, which he said is part of the offerings of the New Nigeria.
“I want to assure you that the forces of darkness that have held this nation bound for long, will not continue to have their way. We are determined to take back our nation for good and we are not giving up. I urge you all to remain steadfast. The sun of justice, peace, and development will soon shine on our nation,” Obi said.
