The Labour Party has advised President Bola Tinubu and his ruling All Progressives Congres, APC, to deal with the fallout of its failed policies instead of looking for scapegoats to blame for its ineptitudes.
National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Obiora Ifoh said this in an interview our correspondent today.
He spoke in response to allegations by the APC that opposition parties were behind protests against the current economic hardships being experienced nationwide, reports Vanguard.
The LP Spokesman said the ruling party was simply trying to play the ostrich because even its members who are ordinary citizens are suffering like their peers on the streets and have lost any genuine reason to continue to hide under the guise of party support to deny facts.
He 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.”
