The Labour Party has described the latest petroleum pump price increase as a “bourgeoisie government’s” attempt to only enrich the upper class and inflict penury on the poor.
National Publicity Secretary, Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh, in a statement on Tuesday, said the latest adjustment in the petroleum Pump Price is just the beginning of hard times.
He said Nigerians would be facing bitter hardship under the All Progressives Congress led administration.
The LP reiterated that they had earlier warned that the government in place can only enrich the upper class and inflict penury on the proletariat.
According to him, to offer a paltry N8000 to a family of five and extract all they have laboured for through obnoxious policies is nothing but hardship.
Ifoh stated that Nigerians do not deserve what they are getting from the present government insisting that the Labour Party condemned the attitude of the government to its people.
“This is even coming at a time the Nigeria currency has continued to devalue under the watch of this government.
“We are however optimistic that Nigeria will overcome the Taskmaster of our time. We soon witness the Promised Land” He said.
