The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on Sunday, called on President Bola Tinubu to increase workers minimum wage, while backing the organised labour’s demand for a substantial increase.
Atiku accused President Bola Tinubu of presiding over a ruthless economic squeeze in which workers are paid more on paper and condemned to live on less.
He said the Tinubu administration’s self-congratulatory talk of reform had become an insult to Nigerians whose wages vanish between the filling station and the food market.
In a statement issued by Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communications of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku said Tinubu’s reckless removal of the petrol subsidy sent prices soaring before any credible protection was in place for working families.
