He also said the workers are looking forward to see that the incoming President elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, should continue to be worker’s friendly, as he used to be when he was Governor of Lagos State.
Also, the Chairman congratulated all his fellow workers once again for witnessing this year 2023 workers celebration and prayed to God for guidance and protection for them to witness more years in life .
