The Rivers State branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) issued a warning to take action in response to the political dispute between the state governor, Sir Siminilayi Fubara, and his predecessor, former governor and FCT minister, Nyesom Wike.
The state NLC Chairman, Alex Agwanwo, announced this following a joint organised labour meeting in Port Harcourt, the state capital, on Saturday.
According to the NLC, the state’s workers are suffering as a result of the situation.
Agwanwo denounced the scheme to divert the state governor’s attention away from bringing excellent governance to the state and urged all those engaged to continue their efforts.
“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.” Agwanwo stated.
