The Julius Abure-led Labour Party, LP, has said the party would have done a better job piloting the affairs of Nigeria than the All Progressives Congress, APC, has done in the past two years.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Obiora Ifoh, stated this on Wednesday in Abuja.
Ifoh said the party foresaw the hardship, poverty, and economic downturn that Nigerians are suffering today.
He said Nigerians are in a better position to answer questions on whether their lives are better now than they were two years ago.
“How much is a bag of rice today when compared with what it was two years ago? Are we now more secure on our roads and at home? What about the purchasing power of our citizens? Is it better?
“We make bold to say a Labour Party government would have done a better job of managing the economy and improving the lives of Nigerians.
“Today, the Naira, which exchanged for N167 to a US Dollar at some point, is now exchanging for over N1,600; petrol, which sold for N87 per litre, is now selling for over N1,000 per litre; and with nearly 40 per cent inflation, it has now reached over 42 per cent,” he said.
