The presidential candidate made this known while calling out Labour Party’s Peter Obi for stealing his idea.
According to Sowore in a tweet, the minimum wage Nigerian workers are entitled to must reflect the cost of living and the purchasing power parity.
“Although they stole this idea from our 2018 campaign, this @NgLabour minimum wage idea is NOW OUTDATED-The Minimum Wage must reflect the cost of living and the purchasing power parity.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.
This, however, was met with mixed reactions from citizens; some agreed to it while others condemned the idea as unattainable.

You are confused, Sowore.

Both of you are not serious lmao . When you should be focusing on how to make the Naira appreciate against the dollar , so that 30k naira will be like the 250k that you are proposing

How much are you paying your workers now?

With Per hour Salary system – #1000 per hour ( work 10 hours per day for 10 days) = #100,000. You can see how cheap the payment system has failed. With @NgLabour #ObidattiManifesto – per hour wage system 👍👍👍. Even with #500 per hour for 10 hours for 20 days in month =#100,000
