Nigeria Labour Congress With Over 6 Million Members Endorses Peter Obi

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which represents over 6 million Nigerian workers, has officially endorsed Peter Obi as their preferred candidate for the upcoming election. The endorsement was made in line with the Workers Charter of Demands, which outlines the union’s expectations for political leaders to prioritize workers’ rights and welfare.

The NLC has enjoined all of its members across Nigeria to vote for Obi and defend their votes against any form of electoral malpractice. The endorsement is significant as it indicates that Obi has gained the support of a powerful labor union, which could boost his chances of winning the election.

In a statement released by the NLC, the union emphasized the need for a transparent and fair electoral process that reflects the wishes of the Nigerian people. They have urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the electoral processes are transparent and fair.

The NLC has also directed its members to support the Labour Party in the upcoming elections and vote for Peter Obi as the party’s presidential candidate. The union’s political committees are expected to work with civil society organizations and students to ensure that the electoral process is free, fair, and transparent.

This endorsement is a significant boost for Peter Obi’s campaign, as he seeks to become the next president of Nigeria. With the support of over 6 million members of the NLC, Obi can expect to gain the votes of many Nigerian workers who are members of the labor union.

As the election approaches, it remains to be seen whether Obi’s endorsement by the NLC will translate into electoral victory. Nevertheless, the endorsement by the labor union is a strong indication that Obi has gained the support of a significant segment of the Nigerian workforce, which could prove to be decisive in the final outcome of the election.
