Protest: Governance Not Just About Grabbing, Running With Power, Labour Party Chides APC

The Labour Party has rubbished allegations by the All Progressives Congress, APC that the opposition parties are behind protests against the current economic hardships.

Dismissing the assertion, Labour Party in a statement issued by its spokesman, Obiorah Ifoh affirmed that the protests against the APC government policies showed that President Bola Tinubu was not prepared for governance mocking that governing is not just about grabbing and running with power.

The Labour Party said:

“Every right thinking Nigerian knows that the APC is the originator and sustainer of sponsored protests. For the party to now suggest that Nigerians who are at the verge of losing it all because of bad policy decision choices of this administration were sponsored is to say the least laughable.

“Those who took to the streets in Minna, Niger State, a state controlled by the APC went to the streets not as members of opposition parties but as citizens bearing the brunt of this administration’s ineptitude and lack of preparation for governance.

“Irrespective of party affiliations, religious and ethnic creed, we all go to the same market where the prices of goods and services have skyrocketed. Our children have had to stay home because their parents can no longer afford their school fees. Because of lack of planning, the Federal Government’ is yet to pay January salaries.

“Our advice to the APC is for it to look for solutions to Nigeria’s problems especially the economic ones it created instead of this propaganda parade. But unfortunately, you cannot give what you don’t have. Governance is not about grabbing and running away with power, it all about making judicious use of it to better the lots of the masses,” the Labour Party said in response to the claims by the APC over the protests in some parts of the country.
