The Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has called on the federal government to rise up to its responsibility and end policies that would throw Nigerians into debt and despair.
In a post on his official X handle on Thursday, Obi urged
the federal government to show sensitivity and compassion to the suffering
masses by deploying resources to critical areas that will help to create jobs
to alleviate the people’s hardships.
Obi, who lamented that critical economic players and their
associated institutions were undergoing a serious dearth of funds, stressed
that some of them were even protesting as they could not meet their banks’ and
staff needs.
“Why are retired public servants, including service men and
women who have risked their lives for the nation, still protesting over unpaid
gratuities and pensions?
“It is shameful that those who built this nation with their
sweat, those who defended it with their lives, and those who have fulfilled
their contractual obligations are reduced to begging for what is rightfully
theirs, even after the government boasts of excess revenue,” he wrote.
