“Vote Out Bad Governance” – Atiku Urges Nigerian Workers


In a commemorative message to Nigerian workers for the 2022 International Workers’ Day on May 2nd, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakah, urged workers across the country to remain steadfast and not relent in their pursuit of a better government.

This message was passed by the Former Vice President on his Twitter page where he expressed concern over the challenges faced by workers in the country. Being subjected to hyperinflation, mass unemployment, and non-payment of salaries. Atiku also expressed admiration for the persistence and resilience of the working class in the country, striving despite the unfavorable conditions and challenges faced by workers. As the 2023 PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku urges Nigerian workers to unite and participate actively in the forthcoming 2023 Presidential Elections to vote out bad governance and secure a better future for the country.

The Twitter message read: “Dear Nigerian workers, I will like you to know that I feel your unbearable pains and pang of hunger, hyperinflation, mass unemployment, and insecurity challenges you encounter in your daily lives. #WorkersDay”

But I want to assure you that there’s hope from this socio-economic slope if we remain committed to the process to enthrone One People with One Future and One Country for the good of all.”

Nigerian workers at all levels and all sectors – federal, state, local governments and private sector – may do well to adopt a new approach to industrial relations and dispute resolution by pursuing labour-friendly policies and positions

that will guarantee improved national productivity, better working conditions for workers, particularly low-income staff and casual workers who have suffered so much anguish and pains in their daily working lives and living.

I wish to let Nigerian workers know that I feel their pains and would do the utmost to better their lots if given an opportunity to lead the country.

I am concerned that salaries have remained static, food scarcity and inflation abound everywhere, children are out of school due to no fault of yours, farmers can no longer go to the farm for fear of bandits, traders cannot commute freely without being abducted,”

no energy to power industries and companies are shutting down geometrically; all conspired as a burden on the citizenry.”

However, I wish to assure you that all hope is not lost. You need not be forlorn; the time is ripe to vote out bad governance, and Nigerian workers should lead the way with their voter’s cards at the next polls to ensure the return of better days.”

“I praise the resilience and determination of our workers, despite the myriad of man-made challenges confronting them.”

Nigerians are hardworking and industrious people who can compete with the best in the world given a conducive atmosphere and good work environment: good training, welfare package and enabling laws.”

I urge Nigerian workers to keep hope alive and cultivate a new spirit of patriotism geared towards nation-building and peace.”
