The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has advised the organised labour not to settle for nothing less than 120,000 naira as a minimum wage, saying the Federal Government had no excuse not to pay as much.

In an interview with newsmen, the PDP Deputy National Publicity Secretary, IBRAHIM ABDULLAHI, said the APC-led Federal Government was being insincere in its negotiation with Labour.

According to him, the Federal Government had been extravagant and so could not deny having the funds to pay at least 120,000 naira as minimum wage.

But the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), whose government is proposing 60,000 naira as minimum wage, described the PDP’s advice to Organised Labour as unpatriotic.

The APC Publicity Director, BALA IBRAHIM, lambasted the opposition for instigating the organised labour against the government.

IBRAHIM acknowledged the hardship in the country but described the NLC and TUC’s demand for 494,000 naira minimum wage as unreasonable.
