<\/p>\nThe Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar has warned that President Muhammadu Buhari can\u2019t be trusted to implement the new minimum wage of N30, 000 recommended by the tripartite committee.<\/p>\n
Abubakar, a former Vice President said the Buhari who he said is allegedly known for \u201cflip-flopping\u201d may not have the political will to implement the new minimum wage.<\/p>\n
In a statement issued by his media office, the Waziri of Adamawa said Buhari has failed to note that the workers are the goose that \u201clay the golden eggs\u201d which members of his administration are enjoying.<\/p>\n
The statement reads, \u201dOur attention has been drawn to a statement from the Presidency denying President Buhari\u2019s earlier pledge to pay the new minimum wage of \u20a630,000 agreed with the Nigerian Labour Congress and other labour affiliates in a signed communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n
\u201dThis approbation and reprobation is characteristic of the Buhari administration and is evidence of the lack of leadership at the very top that is putting our economy in peril.<\/p>\n
\u201dJust two weeks ago, two of the world\u2019s largest banks, HSBC and UBS, pulled out of Nigeria citing lack of policy stability as their reason. This same reason was given by Procter and Gamble when they pulled out last year. In the span of the three years that this administration has been in office, more than 500 companies have pulled out of Nigeria for similar reasons. Nigeria under President Buhari has become synonymous with policy flip-flopping.<\/p>\n
\u201dA government is only as reliable as its word and if its word is not reliable then nothing else about the government will be stable. This is why Nigeria suffered from a recession under this administration and is right now at risk of another recession.<\/p>\n
\u201dAt the risk of repeating ourselves, we urge the Buhari administration to note that Nigerian workers are the goose that lays the golden egg that top members of this government are enjoying to the detriment of those laying the egg.\u201d<\/p>\n
