Imagine 47,917 families—each with an average of 5 dependents—translating to over 239,585 voters spread across every state in Nigeria. These are not just numbers; they are angry, passionate, and politically conscious citizens who have been betrayed, ignored, and pushed to the brink of despair.
These ex-PHCN workers are not mere statistics; they are fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters who served Nigeria’s power sector with sweat and sacrifice, only to be abandoned when their services were no longer needed. Their severance packages remain unpaid, their pleas ignored, and their hopes crushed by successive administrations.
But here’s the explosive reality that no smart government should ignore: **47,917 ex-workers + 239,585 dependents = a voting bloc of nearly 300,000 Nigerians. And if you factor in their extended families, friends, and communities sympathetic to their plight, we’re talking about a potential swing force of over 500,000 votes—enough to decide elections in key states.
The Emotional Tsunami: A Time Bomb Waiting to Explode
These workers are not just asking for money; they are demanding justice, dignity, and recognition**. Every day their severance remains unpaid, their bitterness grows. Every empty promise fuels their resentment. And when election season comes, **they will remember.
- Do you want their votes?
- Do you want their loyalty?
- Do you want their massive grassroots influence?
Then PAY THEM NOW!
The Political Calculus: Why This is a Game-Changer
- National Spread – These ex-workers are not concentrated in one region; they are **in every state, every local government, and every ward. Their influence is *ubiquitous*.
- Grassroots Mobilization – Many of them are respected community leaders, elders, and influencers. If they speak, their people listen.
- Emotional Voting – Nigerians vote based on who helped them in their time of need. A government that pays them will earn undying loyalty.
- The Ripple Effect – When 300,000+ people are happy, they campaign for you, they defend you, and they **bring more voters to your side.
The Warning to Any Government: Act Now or Lose Them Forever
This is not just about money; it’s about trust. It’s about keeping promises. It’s about showing that governance is about the people, not just power.
Any government that pays these workers will:
✔ Trigger an avalanche of goodwill
✔ Secure a loyal voting bloc
✔ Silence opposition critics
✔ Gain nationwide grassroots support
But any government that ignores them will face a voter rebellion of epic proportions. These workers will not forget, and they will not forgive.
The Final Call to Action: Pay Them and Reap the Rewards!
To any serious government eyeing 2027 or beyond, here’s the deal:
PAY THE EX-PHCN WORKERS NOW, AND YOU WILL OWN THEIR VOTES, THEIR LOYALTY, AND THEIR VOICES.
Delay further, and you will face a mobilized, aggrieved, and politically charged army of 300,000+ Nigerians who will campaign AGAINST you with a vengeance.
The choice is clear.
