The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has proposed to increase the minimum wage for Nigerian workers to at least N250,000 if elected president in the 2023 general elections. Sowore made the proposal on Thursday while faulting the N80,000 - N100,000 minimum wage proposed by his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi. According to the #RevolutionNow convener, the minimum wage of Nigerian workers must reflect the cost of living and the purchasing power parity.

We are proposing at least N250,000 minimum wage for Nigerian workers! #TakeItBack,” Sowore said.

Sowore. How will thaþ proposal of yours will be substained? Do we have such resources?

.......and commodity prices would goes as higher as 1 million percent

Is minimum wage the real issue, or is it fixing the economy, strengthening and ensuring that our institutions deliver on their mandate and are accountable, with genuine oversight and are holistically sanctioned when they fail that matters? Talk is cheap.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Does this make sense?

Is ok 🤔

Deciet or politics?

Sometimes desperation makes candidates vying for elwctive positions that they would make heaven,how much is he paying his staff SaharaRepoters that are not expecting pension or gratuity after retirement. 🤔

This is what desperation can do. 😂

SUG presidoo. Weldone oohh

This man sha!!! It's not about saying it, can you do it? Start by running as a governor so we can use that and test you.

These days, it's not hard to identify a lie. Politicians have made this thing so easy even for the fool.

Sowore is not serious.

Which state won pay that kind money? If it happens Nysc members go too happy

He’s clearly not using wisdom to pursue his political career, this is the second time he’s contesting as president and he is not making any headway, he should have start from his state as governor instead of making mockery of himself, charity begins at home.

Let the vawulence begin

Will he pay the workers from his pocket?

It's a good one. The fact is, if any government wants this to happen, it will. They have the capacity to.

No small thing, how much do you pay your workers? Oga be realistic.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Lol. Where will the money come from?

SUG President for enhanced salaries & emoluments. He must campaign - beauty of democracy - even when it does not make sense.

E dey smoke Igbo 🤣

Politicians with the set up

Easier said than done🥱🥱🥱

Saka master.

How did he arrive at this incredible figure. Did he think of the inflationary effect of rising wages that fast and all the axillary issues that will pop up? How will increasing wage bill create jobs?

The problem of Nigeria is not in minimum wage or salary increment... Even if all these are put in place, if we still having bad economy policies we going nowhere. Work on the economy policies and see how revive the contry would be.

Werey

Omo😂😂😂😂

YeleSowore sole party is no doubt a placeholder party for APC not knowing the current indebtedness of the nation and making promises as if they are talking to children of the 2000’s Gen

LOL

Is he going to get the money from only selling agbarumo

This Man cannot be even a councilor in a Ward talkless of president Nigerians of now at this won't accept someone like him at all

Shey eleyi o ti wa yawere bayii?

He should go and seat down💺, and via for a position from his local government area first. Ruling Nigerian is a serious business not a childs play. Such promises are not realistic.

dream on sir!

Na wa ooo.. dey don start again ooo

Oga try VOTE obi

Common guys, why it's not possible with what Nigeria has? 250k not even upto 300$ with exchange rate right now. Don't let Poverty make you guys think it's not possible

Linus 😂

I agree with YeleSowore As long as the money is not printed. Otherwise, a snatched of pure water will be sold for N10k!

Scam yahoo yahoo guy, how are you paying workers in your company if maybe you even have a company?

Lol some states aren't even paying 30k..just do a reasonable amount, this one that you dropped, we both know say nah Mule

Let him start paying u guys at sahara reporters that amount first, then we know he is serious

Unrealistic

Can he do it when time reach

No pedigree. No antecedent. No exposure. No experience. No political mentor..... And from the blues, you want to govern Nigeria. Come... Make we vote for you naa. Oloshi

He is mad

Werey. That's why I can't root for this guy as the president. How does he intend to sustain that amount without further rubbishing the value of the naira? This one will make a worse disastrous than buhari.

I see so many of you asking where is the money. First I want to ask, how many of you know the strength of civil service? One person took 109b in this country, senators are being paid 13m according to Sheu Sani. And you ask where is the money. Sewore for president!!!!!!✊

My friend leave dat thing. By your proposal and your language, you are one of them. They thrive in lies, deception, empty promises, Disinformation and misinformation. Just leave that thing Biko. For the umpteenth time.... You aren't going nowhere. The red card oracle has spoken

This man just feeds off others. You claim to be a leader then lead stop acting like a follower. Have that carriage and poise of a leader. Don't sound like a disgruntled 4th wife. No disrespect to wives out there.

Lols 😂 It does not matters.. just do something to add value to our currency and solve fuel price surges and educate for more startup in the country. Then this solution will make 30k more valued than current 250k

Story for the gods

Aluta continua, go back to the university and continue making noise

Stupid proposal. How do you implement that? He knows he stands not chance even in his local government... smh

I like your president ayo__kunle

Werey ni boy yí 😂😂😂😂

Sowere should know that Nigeria is not a logistic company that needs a dispatch rider. He should look for something else to do with the cash out money

If him like make him talk N1,000,000 nah only him family members go vote ham🥸

To pay from which economy

Charity begins at home, he should start by paying his staffs

I read PeterObi proposing a NGN80,000 to NGN100,000 minimum wage and I thought ‘twas ridiculous. This NGN250k is downright hilarious!

garsama this is very promising oooh manhenrio itzmebakar make una see oooh

Oya, u will start hearing people saying where is the money. When in reality, the money is there. Govt will tell you there's no money yet, they can afford to pay themselves millions every months. U guys better wake up and face ur reality squarely

“Today, 5th December, 2022,my team visited INEC office at festac, many came to collect their PVC but were told PVC collections begin on 12th December, meanwhile,INEC staff there were busy copying all PVC numbers, names to their phones, Rigging is taking place before the election

Damn! NiGGa

😆😆😆😆 from which account... This one no Sabi lie 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Them don start.

It’s very possible if the oil theft and in country refineries are working.Nigerian earnings can be both crude oil sales and petroleum products - in Africa alone via some AU(African Union arrangements) the revenue can cater for such needs, but the thieves in there won’t let such.

😁😁😁😁 ok ooo Palm kernel oil is available ooo pls refer me to anybody or company you know that buys. There's moringa oil, lavender oil and Neem oil also If you see my business tweet pls help me retweet 🥺 my buyers might be on your timeline

Not about the polity feasibility is the ,'how'.

Comedy😅

Scammer

The power of weed 😩

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 abeg I was just passing

These lie too much na😂😂😂😂. From 30,000 to 250,000

Nigerians re mocking dere own penury in the comments. It's shameful that our psyche has been mismanaged&destroyed by mediocrity& poor governance. 250k is like $300 for God sake! 2 Attorney Generals alone stole almost NGN 600B. Sowore is a journalist& I think he knows his onions.

Dear Mr Sowore you have tried and still trying but this promise isn't visible or achievable in Nigeria of today. My opinion though

How much is he paying his staff?

Another lies comrade

Assalamualaikum did you want to learn Quran and Tajweed. Don't worry any more check my pin tweet for more information

Can we get serious in that country called Nigeria?

And I propose N500,000

Impposicant! Pls someone should ask me about the repercussions 🤔

...desperation....😏

You don't even have any experience of what you are saying. You think you are coming to lead a family or group of people. Nigeria is too big for an inexperience person like you .

😂😂 How will that be achieved?

Igboeux!

Scammer ni bobo yi

Why not make it round number N300k

Omo Lau Lau... He thinks this is spending campaign funds 🤣🤣

Good Will is easy to say... but Looking at Federal and State revenue how is he going to pay? Minimum wage is not equal to Monthly salary ooo.

Building castles in the air? If politicians are that 'generous' and would not deep their hands into the cookie jar, then impossible is nothing. Many States are yet to implement the N30k as we speak! Now, you talk of N250? You got to be kidding me!

At least, not 30.000. 30.000 salary a month is government inhumanity to her workers, sad.

Please be telling the masses what can be possible
