Meanwhile, former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has flayed President Muhammadu Buhari for his failure to address workers as they mark the occasion.
“In the entire history of our country there has never been a May Day in which our President did not address the workers. Where is @MBuhari?” said Fani-Kayode in a tweet.
