MR. UBAWANI ARINZE
AWKA, ANAMBRA STATE.
The attempted “coup” by Joe Ajero in Anambra State has been thwarted. This final effort by Joe Ajero, the political president of Nigeria Labour Congress, to destabilize the state and disrupt the peaceful relationship between workers and Soludo’s government has been decisively defeated.
Ndi Anambra unequivocally denounced Joe Ajero’s political maneuvers and his disrespectful treatment of organized labour unions in the state. It comes as no surprise that the Anambra state labour union has courageously rejected Ajero’s schemes and refused to heed his mischievous call for unnecessary industrial action in a peaceful state.
Soludo’s administration has consistently prioritized the welfare of workers since taking office, earning him the title of the most labor-friendly governor in the state’s history. There is no justification for Joe Ajero’s attempt to target Soludo over a failed negotiation between the NLC and the Federal Government in Abuja regarding the ongoing New Minimum Wage Renegotiation.
