A coalition of labour leaders, professionals and artisans operating under the aegis of Working People United (WOPU) has congratulates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) on his last weekend victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primaries.
According to the results announced by former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, who was Chairman of the Presidential Election Committee of the Direct primary polled over 10 million votes to secure the party’s ticket for the upcoming general election.
His only rival for the ticket, Stanley Osifo scored 16, 503.
Tinubu in his acceptance speech, assured Nigerians that he would consolidate on the gains achieved by his administration in the last 3 years.
In a statement released on Tuesday in Abuja and signed by the National Coordinator of WOPU, Comrade (Prince) Williams Eniredonana Akporeha, the movement described the outcome as a historic endorsement of the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The votes of 10.9 million Nigerians cannot be an error; they were earned through policies that prioritise the welfare, productivity, and future of the people.
“From our members in 8,809 wards to the 774 local government areas, the message is clear: working people trust President Tinubu to finish the good work he has started.”
The statement noted that the President’s pro-people interventions, including the Student Loan Scheme, support for small businesses, and efforts to stabilise the economy despite global challenges, have solidified his bond with artisans, farmers, transporters, and professionals across the nation.
WOPU reaffirmed its commitment to mobilising its over 70 million strong grassroots network to ensure the President’s victory in the general election.
“We are not just celebrating today. We are preparing for tomorrow. The 4+4 Renewed Hope vision is a mission that must be completed, and working people will lead the charge,” the statement concluded.
