The Labour Party (LP) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Bola Tinubu of inflicting hardship on Nigerians.
The party, through its National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, submitted that it is the ideology of the APC to cause hardship.
Speaking during an interview with Punch published on Thursday, Ifoh said President Tinubu had promised to continue from where former President Muhammadu Buhari stopped and the reality of what he said is the pain and penury Nigerians are passing through at the moment.
He lamented that many Nigerians are unable to feed properly, pay their medical bills and afford other basic necessities of life due to the harsh policies of the current government.
The LP spokesperson made the submission in response to a question on the appropriateness of a suggestion for the Tinubu administration to seek help from former President Goodluck Jonathan to stabilise the economy and currency.
In response, Ifoh said: “It is not about seeking help. It is about the ideology of the party. The ideology is to bring hardship. The ideology is like what this current President said, to continue from where the previous President stopped. It is about the pain and penury they intend to inflict on Nigeria and they are succeeding.
“At this rate, I don’t know where Nigeria will be in the next three years. At this rate, people can’t pay their health bills and even eat. Every day, they are increasing taxes. And they are achieving what they want to achieve. You can see the rate of school dropouts. So, it is not about being stubborn. It is about the policy.”
