Economic hardship: PDP, Labour Party back NLC protest as APC kicks

Breaking: APC, PDP, LP React As NLC Begins Protest, Tells Tinubu To Ease Economic Tension – TheTalk.NG

• The reality on the ground is the rising cost of living in the country and the economic crisis occasioned by President Tinubu’s policies
• But the NLC insisted that its best option is to embark on a protest to register the level of sufferings, noting “it’s a rally about hunger not minimum wage alone”
• On Tuesday morning, the PDP and the Labour Party declared support for the NLC as protest spreads across Nigeria

APC kick against NLC protest

PDP, LP declares support for NLC protest

“So the NLC is justified. The PDP agrees with labour. The reality on the ground defies human comprehension. You cannot expect Nigerians to fold their hands because it is an APC government that is in place. The NLC stormed the streets when it was the PDP. They did the same during the military regime. I don’t see any rationale for anybody to think the NLC is out to frustrate this government.

“The people have never been worse off as we are seeing it today. Purchasing power in the country has declined to an all-time worse. The inflation rate is also high. “Everybody should come out for this protest, including labour, civil society organisations and traders. The PDP is absolutely in support of this protest.”
