BOOT Party Candidate Adenuga Meets Ogun Labour Union, Pledges Dual Pensions and Worker’s Welfare.
Engineer Adekunle Adenuga, the governorship candidate of the BOOT Party in Ogun State, has declared that no other political party in Nigeria understands the needs of labour like the BOOT Party.
As he held a stakeholder engagement with the Ogun State Labour Union comprising representatives from the Nigeria Labour Congress, RATAWU, NULGE, the Automobile Association, market men and women, and other clusters.
The meeting, held on Thursday in Abeokuta, provided an interactive session where Adenuga listened to the concerns of workers and traders and outlined his vision for labour, governance and economic empowerment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Adenuga, who described himself as a product of labour and a bearer of the labour spirit, promised that his administration would ensure synergy between workers, the judiciary and every other arm of government while maintaining the separation of powers. He said his experience and professional background would be deployed to guarantee steady power supply across Ogun State, adding that the state would become a model that other states would copy.
He also pledged to support mechanics with modern technologies and empowerment programmes, and disclosed that he had been planning for market women and men for over six years, saying it was time to unveil those plans.
The governorship candidate insisted that a worker is entitled to two pensions under his administration—one from the government directly and another from the establishment where the worker had served—and promised to achieve this dual pension framework.
He said the current system shortchanges workers who have given their best years to public service, and that his government would correct the anomaly. He also addressed the issue of Local Government autonomy, saying it would not be “audio money” as it is under the present government, but would be implemented genuinely so that councils have real control over their resources and can deliver development at the grassroots.
The state chairman of the BOOT Party, Architect Akerele, in his remarks, affirmed that any party ready for success must take workers as the best, stressing that the BOOT Party’s commitment to labour is not rhetorical but rooted in policy. He said the party’s agenda for workers, artisans and traders is the most comprehensive of any party in the race, and that Adenuga’s background as a product of labour makes him the natural choice for Ogun workers.
The labour representatives expressed
appreciation for Adenuga’s engagement, describing the session as one of the most substantive interactions they have had with any governorship candidate ahead of the election.
They said the BOOT Party candidate demonstrated a clear understanding of the challenges facing workers and traders, and noted that his promises on dual pensions, power supply, local government autonomy, market empowerment and mechanics’ support addressed issues that have been neglected by successive administrations.
The engagement positions the BOOT Party as the party that speaks the language of labour and the masses, and Adenuga as the candidate whose agenda is rooted in the everyday realities of Ogun workers—a distinction that could prove decisive when voters head to the polls in 2027.
