Oshiomhole tells workers to expect better life under Buhari’s government

Former labour leader and Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, on Friday assured workers in the state that better days await them under the forthcoming administration of General Muhammadu Buhari.

This was as he expressed hopes that the Buhari administration would improve the economic fortune of states and local governments through reduction in oil theft and fight against corruption.

Oshiomhole noted that the fight against crude oil theft and corruption would translate to better life for workers and Nigerians in general.

He made this known through his deputy, Dr. Pius Odubu, at the Edo State May Day rally held at the Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, where he extolled the workers for realizing their long desire for change at the national level.

The Comrade Governor noted that his administration has been paying salaries as at when due despite dwindling resources from the Federal Government.

Nonetheless, some unions such as the Judiciary Workers Union of Nigeria and the National Union of Local Government Employees wore black to the rally to lament delay in the payment of their salaries.

This year’s Workers’ Day also revealed the crisis rocking the NLC in Edo as another faction loyal to Joe Ajaero held a parallel May Day rally at the NTA Pavillion ground. This rally was attended by eight affiliates unions in Edo.

Chairman of the Ajaero faction of the NLC in Edo, Comrade Eddy Ossai, said more unions would soon join the faction.

He claimed that Governor Oshiomhole has taught them how to exist in the face of stiff opposition.
