A Labour leader and immediate past president of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Williams Akporeha, has explained why President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 10.9 million votes at the just-concluded All Progressives Congress presidential primary cannot be an error.
In a recent statement, Akporeha said President Tinubu well deserved the votes attracted.
He attributed the votes to the priority which Tinubu’s government had given to workers’ welfare, productivity and the future of the people.
He said Tinubu’s interventions in the interest of the people, including the Student Loan Scheme, support for small businesses and efforts to stabilise the economy, earned the president votes at the APC presidential primary.
“The votes of 10.9 million Nigerians cannot be a mistake; they were won on the basis of policies that put the welfare, productivity and future of the people first.
“From our members in 8,809 wards to the 774 local government areas, the message is clear: working people trust President Tinubu to finish the good work he has started,” Akporeha, who also served as the coordinator for Working People United, said.
Reports said the results of the APC primary in which President Tinubu scored 10.9 million votes and his only challenger for the ticket Stanley Osifo got 16,503 votes were announced by former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim.
