The Labour Party has called on Nigerians to brace up for tougher times under the ruling party, following the increased in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, known better as petrol by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and other oil marketers across the country.

The LP urged Nigerians to remember that it had previously warned them not to believe the ruse being peddled to them by the APC administration regarding the withdrawal of fuel subsidies since the ruling party lacked any plans to ease their plight.

National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh said this in a statement on Tuesday evening.

Ifoh said: “had earlier warned that the bourgeoisie government in place can only enrich the upper class and inflict penury on the proletariat.

“You offer a paltry N8000 to a family of Five and extract all they have laboured for through obnoxious policies.

“Nigerians do not deserve what they are getting from the present government. The Labour Party condemns the attitude of the government to its people. This is even coming at a time the Nigeria currency has continued to devalue under the watch of this government.

“We are however optimistic that Nigeria will overcome the Taskmaster of our time. We soon witness the Promised Land.”
