The Rivers State branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress has issued a warning about potential action in response to the ongoing political turmoil in the state.
According to the NLC, this unrest is significantly impacting the state’s workers. Alex Agwanwo, the Chairman of the state’s NLC, made this declaration following a collective labor meeting held in Port Harcourt, the state capital, last Saturday.
Agwanwo strongly criticized attempts to divert the state governor from providing effective governance and urged all parties involved to remain focused on their duties.
He said, “We condemn in totality the crisis in Rivers State and we call for immediate peace between all the political actors involved so that we can have peace and prosperity in the state.
“Honestly, this crisis is not helping us. When two elephants fight the grasses suffer. As workers, we are feeling the impact.
“The state is tensed. Our members are beginning to complain about the uprising and how their welfare is now being delayed.”
