This is the moment
angry workers disrupted the rally at the Eagle Square in Abuja to mark this
year’s May Day yesterday as thousands of unionists demanded that President
Muhammadu Buhari “must address the suffering workers.”
The workers, who claimed to have been deceived on many occasions by Ngige, approached the podium and disallowed further proceedings, warning that they would only listen to the president they voted for in 2015, especially as he had promised to help cushion the sufferings of millions of Nigerian workers.
The drama in Abuja
started, when the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige,
failed to appear in person to address the workers, but said he would only
deliver President Buhari’s message to them.
The workers, who claimed to have been deceived on many occasions by Ngige, approached the podium and disallowed further proceedings, warning that they would only listen to the president they voted for in 2015, especially as he had promised to help cushion the sufferings of millions of Nigerian workers.
The unfortunate
event, threw the dignitaries, including the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara and the representative of the Senate President,
into confusion. They were later shielded and rescued out of the venue by
security men
