The leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC and Trade Union Congress, TUC, in Lagos State, have endorsed the presidential candidate of APC, Bola Tinubu and Governor Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State for second term in office.

The Labour union made the remarks on Thursday, during the party’s Gubernatorial Lagos West II Senatorial rally at Ojo, Lagos.

Speaking on behalf of Public Servants Joint Negotiating Council, Comrade Segun Balogun stressed that the Governor had shown love towards civil servants and that necessitated the need for the endorsement.


“You have been a friend of workers. I can say it with all sense of responsibility, you have kept your promise. You promised workers would not be sacked during covid and you kept to that promise. You have put your name in gold for being the first Governor to pay above the minimum wage.

“Each time you engage labour, you always keep the interest of labour at the front burner. We have made up our minds to follow you,” Balogun said.

Lagos NLC Chairperson, Comrade Funmi Sessi, also stated, “On behalf of NLC Lagos council, we all agreed during our meeting before coming out that we will openly endorse you.

“Some people might be surprised why we come out , we are not politicians. We have only been sitting on the fence but this time around we want to be part of it so that we can be part of the government. We have come out with our full chests because this Government has done good things for us.

“We are also endorsing Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the president of Federal Republic of Nigeria. We will vote for him.”

The TUC Chairman in Lagos State, Comrade Gbenga Ekundayo said, “There is no need beating about the bush. You have heard it well. Each time we meet Mr. Governor, he responds to us. Democracy is about inclusion.

“We have tested and have the trust in Mr. Governor and we have found him to have listening ears and a large heart to accommodate us,” Ekundayo stated.

2023 will prove if Nigeria is ready for progress n visionary leadership. I don't what Tinubu is capable of but I know once Tinubu become president

A. There will never be strikes again in our Universities or Poly ever again. Foolish Igbo can claim the federal government did that n not Tinubu.

B. Security - will be greatly improved as witnessed from the upgrading of Operation Sweep to Rapid Response Squad. If in doubt take a min n ponder which state police is efficient like RRS today.

C. Economy of Nigeria will skyrocket not just blossom. Those complaining Tinubu inherited Operation Sweep from Marwa Sebi your hopeless Igbo father also know the economy of Lagos when Tinubu inherited from Marwa n what it is now.

D. Transportation when you go to Dubia London France you see public maintained busses since 1999 only Lagos with BRT is doing something similar even if it is not well maintained or comparable to those abroad but only one man as the foresight.

E. Free WEAC - Till this hour there is no free education in Anambra with all the hype of Peter Obi. Tinubu will institute a legacy of education that will be envy of countries around as you can see only LASU is the state university competing favourable with federal n private universities compared to other state university that are glorified secondary schools.

I can go on n on IGR, waste management Lekki seaport Eko Atlantic only visionary leadership can think about this.

Take a moment see all I listed as small as it it from 1999 till date is the federal government doing half of all of this ? Some fool claim he as stolen all Lagos money now Anambra for example company what it achieved since 1999 divide by 10 n compare the 1/10 with what Lagos achieved since 1999.

Without sentiment tribalistic bigotry nobody should tell you who to vote even if you are Igbo. I just pray Nigeria do not miss this genius they come far in between generations.

Without the word "dumped", the headline wouldn't have been complete.

How many are they at the very top
3 or 4 is that it
Money under table endorsement takes nothing away from LP

Before nko?

Money induced as usual. Peter Obi will win Lagos

Lol. Even CAN Lagos would likely endorse Tinubu. It's expected.
it shows that he has a strong hold over the state.

Please leave your hamlet in the east & visit Lagos State, I bet that you wouldn’t be this oblivious about the city.

And Indeed the whole South West.

Not southwest, Lagos, and it would have been a good thing if union vote homogeneously in Nigeria. But they don't.
