From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha
National Coordinator, All Progressives Grand Alliance ( APGA) Media Warriors Forum, Evang. Chinedu Obigwe, has faulted the recent action of Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) towards the Soludo administration in Anambra State and declared that he is being used to play some politically motivated script.
Ajaero had called out Gov. Soludo in a viral video where he alleged that the governor was against other governors who agreed to pay N70, 000 minimum wage.
Last Wednesday too, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union of Nigeria (TUC) issued a seven-day strike notice to Soludo over his reported refusal to fully implement the 2019 minimum wage policy.
But in reaction to the development, the APGA Media Warriors boss in a statement on Saturday warned Ajaero to try his antics elsewhere, because Anambra workers were happy and comfortable with Soludo.
He( Ajaero) started by fabricating lies against Governor Soludo by claiming in a viral TV video interview that Governor Soludo is harassing Governors that accepted to pay 70 thousand naira minimum wage. This is a lie from the pit of hell.
“The welfare of workers is among the priorities of Governor Soludo’s administration and that is the reason he is enjoying a good relationship with Anambra workers.
“Governor Soludo will not do anything that is against workers’ interest because he appreciates their contribution towards the development of Anambra and our society at large.
“Joe Ajaero issuance of a seven-day ultimatum to Governor Soludo’s administration exposed him as a tool being used by evil minded people to destabilise Anambra State for politically motivated reasons but he will fail.
Continuing Obigwe said, “Anambra is peaceful under Governor Soludo’s watch and the people of the state will not allow Joe Ajaero to ignite crisis in their state.
“He should take his madness elsewhere because Anambra people are not ready to condone any form of unrest in their State.
“Prof Soludo is an undisputed workers’ friendly Governor and he will not allow Joe Ajaero to strain his good relationship with Anambra workers.
He said Ajaero’s “fabricated tissue of lies” against Governor Soludo should be disregarded because it “lacks any iota of truth”.
