The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged Organised Labour to pitch tent with him in the 2023 presidential election, saying he has the track record of good governance. 

He said his administration would make the fiscal and monetary policies work for the workers and Nigerians so they can have a good life if given the mandate. 

Tinubu spoke during a town hall meeting with Organised Labour on Monday in Abuja.

He also said he would ensure the nation is massively industrialised to give more people better paying jobs, while also opening doors to more emerging sectors the younger ones can harness. 

Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, said his administration would protect Nigerians and their property, strengthen the national security architecture to end terror, kidnapping, banditry and all other forms of violent extremism and bring policing and the police closer to the communities they serve. 

The APC candidate said he would foster a closer partnership with Organised Labour where dialogue on major policy issues and cooperation will become the order of the day. 

He said he would ensure maximum deployment of technology to monitor, protect pipelines and block theft, while also condemning those receiving stolen crude, saying if there is no receiver, there won’t be a supplier. 

The NLC President, Comrade Wabba presented the workers’ charter of demands, which include a total war on corruption.
