The Labour leaders called for an immediate halt to actions that undermine civil liberties and deepen the national crisis. They emphasized the need for democratic accountability through transparent governance, electoral reforms, and an end to the suppression of dissent.
They also condemned the ongoing killings across the country, labeling them as genocidal. Labour leaders stressed that protecting citizens’ lives and property should be the government’s top priority.
On the proposed tax bills in the National Assembly, the Labour leaders called for the withdrawal of the bills, arguing that they were crafted without consulting the NLC and TUC. They criticized the bills for burdening workers while leaving wealthy individuals and corporations largely untouched.
Additionally, Labour demanded an immediate reduction in telecommunication tariffs, from the current 50 percent to 35 percent, and an urgent salary adjustment in line with the country’s economic realities. They also called for the timely payment of outstanding allowances, pensions, and gratuities, as well as the restoration of gratuity payments and an upward review of the retirement age. Furthermore, they requested an automatic adjustment of pensions to reflect inflationary trends.
These demands reflect Labour’s call for urgent attention to workers’ welfare and the improvement of living conditions in the country.

In a statement dated April 17, 2026, and signed by State Publicity Secretary Auwalu Abdullahi Soja, the party described the alleged announcement by a group known as the Arewa APC Forum (Kano Chapter) as false and misleading.
The APC said the claim was a deliberate attempt to create confusion and damage the image of the party, stressing that no recognised structure within the party in Kano had taken such a decision.
It further stated that the so-called group does not represent the views or interests of APC members in the state and is not recognised within the party hierarchy.
The statement also reaffirmed full confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership, noting that his administration remains focused on economic reforms, governance, and national development.
The party urged members and the public to disregard the rumour, describing it as the work of individuals attempting to cause unnecessary tension within its ranks.
