…task govt, INEC on credible polls

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) has backed Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, urging all workers in the country to vote for him in Saturday’s election.

In a press statement on Thursday signed by Festus Osifo and Nuhu Toro, president and secretary-general of TUC respectively, the union said the 2023 elections were crucial and may determine the immediate future of Nigeria, especially in socio-economic terms, and the general well-being of the country.

The union said workers across Nigeria must be conscious that the LP was theirs, which necessitated the need for them to support the party’s candidates at all levels across the country.

“The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria is calling on workers in the country and their allies to be vigilant as the 2023 general election kick-off this Saturday, February 25, with the presidential and national assembly elections.

“These elections are so crucial that they may determine the immediate future of the country, especially in socio-economic terms, and, the general well-being of the country.

“Workers have the duty not only to cast their votes for candidates of their choice who are pro-labour and they can trust, but also to defend the sanctity of the electoral process.

“Congress hereby directs all our members in all the 36 states and the 774 local governments to be reminded that Labour Party belongs to us, hence our appeal to all our members to vote for the labour party and all their candidates.

“Workers must keep in mind that where the political elites, some of who hold multiple nationalities, are rich enough to relocate abroad, the working people and the mass of the citizenry have no alternative but to stay in the country.

“Hence the working class has a greater stake in ensuring not just the peaceful conduct of the elections, but also to safeguard general peace in the country, including in the post-election period,” the TUC said in the statement.

The union also urged all Nigerians to ensure that special protection was given to electoral officials, especially the over 200,000 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members engaged as ad-hoc staff to ensure smooth elections.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was also charged to ensure smooth elections in which the votes count, while the entire process must be free, fair, transparent and credible.

According to the union, “These youth corpers are not only crucial for successful elections but also are part of the bulwark of our youths that can guarantee a future Nigeria.

“Congress also urges the Independent National Electoral Commission to ensure smooth elections in which the votes count, the entire process must be free, fair, transparent and credible.

“Government at all levels has a primary duty to secure lives and property, so, they must protect all citizens before, during and after the elections.

“The TUC also welcomes the 33 international organisations and the 2,113 observers they have deployed for these elections and requests them to stick to their role of observing the elections without any form of interference.

Equally, we urge them to refrain from making statements that can inflame passions or lead to any form of disruption in the country.”

Everyone is for Obi except urchins and religious bigots ......

These elections are so crucial that they may determine the immediate future of the country, especially in socio-economic terms, and, the general well-being of the country.

"We cannot appoint Pablo Escobar as president and Osama bin Laden as vice president," -- Senator Dino Melaye

If Tinubu wins (God forbid), we will praise Buhari's disasterous government. Nigeria would be worse than Afghanistan.

This election is beyond politicking..

If you look at the women below (whose family were murdered in cold blood in Owo, southern Kaduna, Borno and every other part of the country and you still want to return the founder of Boko Haram and the man who claimed to have brought Buhari and subjected 200 million people in pain for 8 years) and still wan to vote for APC..

You don't have blood running through your veins.. you are vile and you are not worthy to be called a human being.

Don't let anyone deceive you that your vote will not count or Obi does not have the number.. small drops of water makes the ocean full..

There are 81 million eligible voters with PVC coming out en masse.. ½ of them have made up their mind to be different..

Well, we yoruba Christians will never vote Tinubu on Muslim-Muslim ticket because we are not fools. When MURIC terrorists told Yoruba Muslims not to vote Yoruba Christians, they all agree. Since no yoruba muslim in Nigeria will ever vote Christian-Christian ticket, why should we christians now vote Mu-Mu ticket?

For your information, Christians are not minorities, slaves, or second class citizens in Nigeria. Mu-Mu ticket is a big insult to we Yoruba Christians and we shall punish Tinubu for that before Satan will also punish him. Woe unto any Christian who vote for Islamisation of Nigeria.

Following

Pdapc are desperados but we are obidiently wiser now
Vote wisely.
It is a time to truely teach our looters something.
It is pay back time.
It is time to show them that power truely belong to the masses.
Vote PO.
Datti is a fact.

Well, that's good news, more to come, obi is our new president already, desperation is already setting in, our immigration officers intercepted about a hundred trucks filled with chaldians on their way to kaduna and all were carrying our pvc

Joy is coming ✅

If Tinubu Wins this elections Nigeria should prepare for the worst. And am very sure his administration will lead to a revolution in Nigeria

Bb

Me and my family are all voting for Peter Obi

I had a chat with one of my big friends in APC yesterday and I asked him, why do you people always say OBI WILL NOT WIN?

He said we want to discourage his supporters not to vote.


Politicians are wicked.

At this point in time, where’s that fool that said OBI will drop the race by Feb. 23?

Thiefnnubu is now left with Urchins Association of Yoruba Land (UAYL)

They will cry well well tomorrow

TUC is wise

They want a better Nigeria. Who no like better thing?

In as much as Tinubu will loose woefully let us pray for him for his quick recovery in France. He must be home to loose woefully.
Will Urchins be voting for someone who's bedridden in France and wouldn't even be around to vote in his polling unit?

On President Peter Obi mandate I stand Gidigba!

You don't need to insult.

biligi biligi
hahahahaha

Peter obi is our president

It'll result in tears! Obi who's as unstable as the leaf on the river. No principles, no enduring commitment to a noble cause! Expediency, that's Obi's alias. Check this out: formerly, APGA, PDP, now Labour Party. And like his Master he's returning to PDP after his fruitless exertions in May, instead of staying on in the party to lead its build-up to a formidable political force. Such a low man is the Messiah of Biafrans. Indeed, only the deep can call to the deep.

Thank you TUC , you are "informed"

Less than 24h to go


Light vs darkness

Every single day God is working wonders for the incoming President Mr. Peter Gregory Obi without him showing desperation like the old criminals PDAPC

If you are voting on 25th , like

JASONjnr:
Everyone is for Obi except urchins and religious bigots ......

And we will show u what real urchin is all about. If your Obi come distant third then we are not Urchin. Obi has failed completely. Next time u will learn to be careful of Ur utterance

I am Igbo. Enugu precisely. I got this to say.
When you do the same thing over and over you will definitely get the same result.
Men have been governing us since 1960 and nothing comes out. Give chance to the female folks let's see if there would be a chance.
After all, Queen Esther changed the history of her people.

VOTE Ojei Princess Chichi of Allied People’s Movement (APM) for President.

Voting Apc is a waste of time and resources.

If not Obi I rather stay back and watch TV. I and my wife have kept our pvc's safe and tomorrow, it's either obi or no one.

God forbid evil.

Obi winning has been approved from heaven
