Buhari Is Playing On The Intelligence Of Our Workers — Fayose

Mr. Ayodele Fayose is back for President Muhammadu Buhari again by saying he was never truthful with workers on the N30,000 minimum wage, describing recent setting up an advisory technical committee on the as plan and plot to further tell lies to the workers.

He said the President became scared when the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) promised not to vote for him unless the N30,000 minimum wage is implemented and decided to deceive the workers with the Bismark Rewane led committee.

Fayose words; “It is on record that on November 6, 2018, while receiving the report of the Tripartite Committee on the Review of National Minimum Wage, President Buhari endorsed N30,000 as the new national minimum wage. He also promised to send a bill to the National Assembly to effect the change from N18,000 to N30,000.

“This is more than three months and the President is now setting up another committee purportedly to recommend modalities for the implementation of the new minimum wage. So what did the first committee that recommended the N30,000 minimum wage actually do?

“How committees is he going to set up on a new minimum wage that he told Nigerians that he already approved since November last year and was set to present the bill to the National Assembly?

“The President is simply playing on the intelligence of the workers by giving impression that he is committed to the new minimum wage so as to get votes from the them.

“The workers should therefore shine their eyes and avoid being deceived by a President who has failed in all ramifications and desperately seeking to hold on to power even at the expense of the suffering Nigerians.”
