The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) and the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) have endorsed Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
The endorsement was made on Tuesday in Abuja by the NLC and TUC in separate speeches.
Speaking at the 10th Pascal Bafya Memorial Lecture, NLC President Mr Ayuba Wabba stated that the organization stands firmly behind Obi and will mobilize to achieve the Labour Party’s victory in the general elections in 2023.
He stated that labour will actively participate in politics and put forth great effort to support candidates whose agenda will improve the lives of their members and Nigerians in general.
On the other hand, Mr Quadri Olaleye, the TUC President, stated that “Obi is a face among the presidential candidates that all labour unions are pleased and are ready to work with.”
According to Olaleye, the whole labour movement has embraced, adopted, and will support Obi in the 2023 presidential elections and make sure that workers cast a sizable number of ballots for him.
He said, ”The Labour Party is stronger, one and formidable and the party has a widespread structure, as there is a worker and a member of either TUC or NLC in every family across Nigeria.”
