A Labour leader and immediate past president of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Williams Akporeha, has explained why the 10.9 million votes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the just-concluded All Progressives Congress presidential primary cannot be an error.
In a statement recently, Akporeha said President Tinubu well deserved the votes attracted.
He said the votes were as a result of the priority given to workers’ welfare, productivity and the future of the people by Tinubu’s government.
He said Tinubu’s interventions in the interest of the people, including the Student Loan Scheme, support for small businesses and efforts to stabilize the economy, earned the president votes at the APC presidential primary.
“Those 10.9 million votes of Nigerians are not a mistake; they were won on the basis of policies that put the welfare, productivity and future of the people first.
“From our members in 8,809 wards to the 774 local government areas, the message is loud and clear: working people believe in President Tinubu to complete the good work he has commenced,” Akporeha, who was also the coordinator of Working People United, said.
Former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim announced the results of the APC primary where President Tinubu scored 10.9 million votes and his only challenger for the ticket, Stanley Osifo, scored 16,503 votes, according to reports.
