The Labour Party, LP, has lambasted the All Progressives Congress, APC, led Federal Government of been insensitive and been wasteful despite its continuous complain of paucity of funds.

Julius Abure, the National Chairman of the Labour Party, on Saturday, said the huge numbers of Nigeria delegation to the Climate Change Conference, COP28 in the United Arab Emirates was a waste of the nation’s meager resources, and further shows that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not ready to learn from the mistakes of the previous administration.

Abure said that the the revelation that the FG it took a delegation of 1,411 to COP28 shows the insensitivity of this present administration.

The LP Chieftain made this remarks while receiving an award of excellence from the Benin chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA.

Abure said in a country where people are struggling with poverty and the current minimum wage is still being debated, it is insensitive of Tinubu’s government to embark on such a ‘jamboree.’

He said, “It is obvious that the government of President Tinubu and the APC are not willing to depart from the circumstances that have plunged the nation into economic quagmire in the past.

“How can a country that is borrowing money to pay workers’ wages, a country plagued by insecurity, battered by power collapse where investors are exiting the country by the day fritter away such a humongous amount of resources on a jamboree?

“ A sober government should have known that borrowing money to attend conferences while rich nations attended the same event with less than 20 persons bothered on insensitivity and brazen impunity. Nigerians have made their point and they are aware that the nation’s salvation lies with the Labour Party as we approach subsequent elections.”
