President-elect Bola Tinubu says he is a co-labourer and
ally to workers in the fight for social and economic justice.
Tinubu spoke on Monday in a statement released to
commemorate Workers Day.
The former governor of Lagos said he would always fight for
workers, adding that they will have “more than minimum wage”.
He however called for “better understanding and
cooperation”, noting that “tough decisions” will be made in the days ahead.
“On this special day,
as your President-elect, I extend my hand of friendship to the Nigerian workers
through the two central Labour unions – Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union
Congress,” he said.
“In me, you will find a dependable ally and co-labourer in
the fight for social and economic justice for all Nigerians, including all the
working people.
“Your fight will be my fight because I will always fight for
you. My plans for better welfare and working conditions are clearly spelt out
in my Renewed Hope Agenda for A Better Nigeria. It is a covenant born of
conviction and one I am prepared to keep.
“At this point, I must remind Nigerian workers that we all
have a common battle to wage, one which we must win together. And it is the
fight against poverty, ignorance, disease, disunity, ethnic and religious hate
and all negative forces that contend against the stability and prosperity of
our country.
“In Nigeria I shall have the honour and privilege to lead
from May 29, workers will have more than a minimum wage. You will have a living
wage to have a decent life and provide for your families.
“The days ahead will, however, demand better understanding
and cooperation from all sides, because leadership will require that we take
tough and hard decisions so that our people and all Nigerian workers can live
more abundantly.”
Tinubu added that he would win the battle against poverty
with the country’s workers.
