Special Assistant on Social Media to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie, says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is the largest employer of ghost workers.

It would be recalled that Atiku, in politicizing the new national minimum wage being worked upon by the Buhari administration for the Nigerian workers, had amidst what Presidency described as fictitious report of Buhari not supporting N30,000 for workers announced his approval of N33,000 as minimum wage for his “100,000” workers.

Recall also that Atiku and his party, the PDP, had attacked the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for calling off their planned strike against the Buhari government saying the labour leaders had betrayed Nigerians.

The PDP presidential flag bearer particularly asked the Organised Labour not to trust Buhari over his pronounced commitment to giving Nigerian workers a new national minimum wage.

The DEFENDER in one of its publications on November 10 reported NLC President Ayuba Wabba, on a TVC Fireworks programme on the said date, warning Atiku and others playing politics with their minimum wage matter to desist.

The latest submission by Lauretta Onochie might not be unconnected to the claims by social media supporters of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar claiming that their candidate is the largest employer of labour in Nigeria with 100,000 workers.

The Presidential aide made this accusation on her twitter page accusing Atiku claims workers he does not have.

Lauretta Onochie’s tweet: “100,000 workers indeed! Clearly, he is the largest private sector employer of Ghost Workers seeing he claims workers he does not have,” she said.

Another social media respondent observed that with Alhaji Aliko Dangote as the richest black man on earth and having the biggest investment by any African having 40,000 workers, the place of Atiku, not known to be anywhere near the industrial achievements of Dangote, would have been better imagined.
