The opposition Labour Party has again called out the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the major opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for neglecting the education sector in the country.
Labour Party described education as being at the verge of collapse.
Labour Party which has the former Governor of Anambra State as it’s presidential candidate lambasted the two major parties in the country over the ongoing ASUU strike during which a whole academic session is wasted as a result of the alleged government negligence.
The Labour Party called on Nigerians not to believe APC and PDP for their lies as campaigns for 2023 had kicked off.
LP made the call in a terse statement on its Twitter handle on Tuesday accused the two leading parties in the country for not making any attempt to implement the UNESCO budgetary allocation to the education sector since the return of democracy in 1999.
The party urged Nigerians to vote out APC in the next year’s general elections,ignore PDP’s call to return to power and embrace the Labour Party by voting for it’s presidential candidate,Peter Obi through the party.
The party added that,it’s presidential candidate will sort out all the issues surrounding the country’s education sector if elected into power next year.
“Dear Nigerians,
“PDP and APC do not care about you and your children’s EDUCATION! That’s why since 1999, they have not attempted to implement the UNESCO budgetary allocation to the education sector. @NgLabour and @PeterObi will get it sorted.

“That is why, in a nationwide strike, they left our students, our future leaders (as they always say) at home for one full academic session – a crime in other climes!
The ASUU strike which began on Feb.14, this year has been a point of discussion in the country.
Few weeks ago,the Industrial Law Court sitting in Abuja ordered the ASUU leadership to resume back to their various classrooms while the negotiation with the government continue.
The judgement which ASUU found insultive resulted to it’s decision to file an Appeal suit.
