The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has commended Nigerian Workers for their resilience and doggedness in the quest to build a better Nigeria.
Obi said in a letter to workers to mark the 2024 edition of
Worker’s Day. May 1st every year is recognised worldwide as a day set aside to
celebrate all categories of workers.
The Labour Party standard bearer assured Nigerian workers of
his avowed commitment to standing with them and identifying with their struggles
for a better society.
In the letter, Obi expressed pride Nigerian workers have continued to defy the odds by standing tall in their commitment to a better nation in the face of adversity.
He wrote, “As we come together to celebrate Workers’ Day, I
am filled with an overwhelming sense of pride and admiration for each and every
one of you who continue to stand tall and steadfast in your commitment to
building our great nation, even in the face of adversity and challenges.
“Today, as we honor the hard work, dedication, and
resilience of workers across the country and beyond, I am reminded of the
incredible strength and spirit that defines us as a people.
“Despite the countless obstacles and hurdles that may stand
in our way, you, the backbone of our society, remain unwavering in your resolve
to contribute to the growth and development of our beloved nation.
“From the bustling streets of Lagos to the serene villages
of the North, from the bustling markets of Onitsha to the bustling ports of
Port Harcourt, your labor forms the foundation upon which our nation stands.
“Whether you are toiling in the fields under the scorching
sun or laboring in factories amidst the hum of machinery, your efforts are the
lifeblood of our economy and the driving force behind our progress.
“But beyond the tangible contributions you daily make to our
nation’s development, it is your unwavering patriotism, resilience, and
determination that truly inspire us all.
“In the face of
economic hardships, political uncertainties, and social injustices, you
continue to stand your ground, holding fast to your belief in a brighter future
for our country.”
The former Anambra State Governor further said, “I stand
with you in solidarity, championing your cause and advocating for your rights.
I recognize the sacrifices you make each and every day to provide for your
families, support your communities, and contribute to the collective well-being
of our nation.
“Today, as we celebrate Workers’ Day, let us reaffirm our
commitment to one another and to the ideals of unity, justice, and equality for
all. Let us take pride in our achievements, draw strength from our collective
resilience, and rededicate ourselves to the noble cause of building a better,
more prosperous Nigeria for generations to come.
“Lastly, I extend my heartfelt gratitude and admiration to
each and every one of you for your unwavering dedication, patriotism, and
sacrifice. Your labor is the cornerstone of our nation’s prosperity, and your
contributions will forever be cherished and celebrated.
“Truly, as our anthem reaffirms, the labor of you our
perpetual heroes shall indeed never be in vain. Happy Workers’ Day, my fellow
compatriots!”
