The national president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba, has tasked the 2023 presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and his running mate, Kashim Shettima, on improving the poor state of the economy and should they emerge victorious in the 2023 election.
Tribune reports that Wabba speaking at a session with organised labour leaders on Monday, December 19, the lack of development of the oil and gas sector, and the unstable power supply in the country among other challenges are biting badly on citizens.

“Fixing the oil and gas sector is top on the demand of the organised labour. How do you want to address the issue of subsidy? What is the volume of refined petroleum products consumed per day in the country?
“In all the OPEC countries, it is only in Nigeria that we hear that crude oil is being stolen! Corruption is at the heart of this.”
Plans for the education sector
Continuing, the NLC president also asked Tinubu and his running mates about their plan for education in the country, especially with the growing statistics on out-of-school children.
He said:
“We want to hear your perspectives on education. That ASUU was on strike for eight months is a sad commentary.
“One other issue is the management of our natural resources. How do you want to deal with illegal mining going on? How do you want to address this being a developmental issue, if it is well run, it can engage our teeming unemployed youths?"
Apologise to Nigerians instead of campaigning," Atiku/Okowa campaign blasts Tinubu
Bola Tinubu and his campaign team have been urged to apologise to Nigeria whom they have allegedly deceived.
The call for an apology from Tinubu's campaign team was made by the spokesperson of the Atiku/Okowa campaign organisation.
Kola Ologbondiyan said the world is already aware of Tinubu's plot to divert attention from a series of corrupt and drug case allegations against him.
Like Tinubu, Atiku suffers serious gaffe during campaign as he almost hails APC
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, had earlier suffered a gaffe.
The former vice president suffered a slip of the tongue while addressing his supporters at a campaign rally in Jos.
Atiku during the rally almost urged the crowd to vote for the All Progressives Congress instead of the PDP.
