The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticised the administration of President Bola Tinubu over the non-payment of December salaries of several workers.
In a statement on Saturday, Debo Ologunagba, PDP spokesperson, said the development is “insensitive and unacceptable”.
Ologunagba said Tinubu’s administration has turned the country into a “huge internally displaced persons (IDP) camp with millions of Nigerians becoming beggars and observing the period in hunger, anguish and misery”.
“It is obvious that the non-payment of the December salary critically needed by the workers including our gallant security operatives at this period is consistent with the atrocious character of APC administration to weaponize poverty and further suppress Nigerians to surrender to totalitarianism,” the statement reads.
“Is it not provocative that while President Tinubu is busy partying and luxuriating with APC leaders, workers who are putting in their time and energy in the service of the nation are left with nothing to feed and celebrate with their families and loved ones?”
The PDP described the situation as a “heartless act by the anti-people APC administration”, saying it “never happened in the 16 years of the PDP in government”.
The major opposition party said the development “further confirms that the Tinubu-led APC administration has practically run our nation’s economy aground”.
