The Labour Party caucus in the House of Representatives has criticized the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for putting 2027 political ambitions ahead of the welfare and security of Nigerians.
The caucus described this approach as insensitive, unconscionable, and a glaring example of poor leadership.
While acknowledging that the President’s re-election ambition is legitimate, the caucus emphasized that his primary focus should be tackling the urgent challenges confronting Nigerians.
The Labour Party caucus leader, Afam Victor Ogene, in a statement on Sunday reiterated that the primary duty of a government was to ensure the welfare and security of its citizens.
However, the caucus criticised the APC and President Bola Tinubu for prioritising their 2027 reelection bid over these fundamental responsibilities.
The statement from Labour Party expressed concern and bewilderment that while the nation grappled with insecurity, the ruling party was either ignoring the issue or offering superficial solutions, rather than addressing the problem effectively.
“The situation has led to prolonged protests by local contractors who remain unpaid for completed projects, sparking economic hardship, stalled development, and a dearth of new projects,” it said.
