The Labour Party  (LP) has called on the Nigerian workers to keep faith with it in the forthcoming general elections.

The party, in a message to mark the 2026 Workers’ Day, boasted that it is the only party that genuinely reflects the values and aspirations of Nigerian workers

“We remain confident in the eventual triumph of the people,” the Labour Party said in the message by its National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa.

It commended the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC), and their affiliate unions for their steadfast commitment to the Nigerian project and the protection of workers’ rights.

“We assure Nigerian workers that the Labour Party stands firmly with them and will never abandon the collective struggle for good governance – one that guarantees fair wages and aligns with the ideals and standards of the International Labour Organisation,” the party added.

It also called on those in authority to intensify efforts toward improving the welfare of Nigerian workers.

While we acknowledge the current administration’s steps to ease the harsh realities faced by workers, particularly the recent increase in the minimum wage, the Labour Party emphasised that much more remains to be done, especially in light of prevailing inflationary pressures.

The party noted that since its registration in 2003, its identity and ideals have remained firmly rooted in the struggles and aspirations of the Nigerian worker.

“Today, therefore, is not just symbolic, it is profoundly personal,” it added, describing the workers’ day as “deep emotional and historical significance.”
