No fewer than 15 affiliate unions of the Edo Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress , yesterday, dissociated themselves from the election that produced Chief Odion Olaye as the chairman of Edo State NLC.
The unions, comprising NULGE, ASUU, NASU, ASUP, NUPENG and 10 others, in a statement in Benin City, said: “The purported Delegate Conference held on March 7, 2023 was an act of illegality held in defiant to a subsisting matter in the National Industrial Court, Abuja challenging the process and procedure of the conference, which violated the congress Constitution.
“In furtherance of our determination to check or prevent an illegality to be foisted on us, an action was filed at the National Industrial Court, Abuja, complaining about the violation of the provision of the Constitution that guides NLC State Conference/Election. The protesting affiliate unions also claimed it became too obvious that the state government interfered in the election process with its open support for the candidacy of Chief Odion Olaye, who is a member and leader of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Egor Council of the state, by intimidating, harassing and threatening workers in the public sector of posting to rural areas or outright dismissal if they fail to declare support for Olaye.
