The chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ebonyi State, Mr Stanley Okoro Emegha, has called on Ebonyi workers not to allow those he described as disgruntled politicians to manipulate them into joining forces against the present administration in the state.
The chairman, who x-rayed the notable achievements of Governor Francis Nwifuru in the area of welfare and human capital development, stated that the governor was the first person under the present democratic dispensation to increase workers' take-home package even before the negotiation of the new national minimum wage of N70,000.
“Firstly, the Governor increased their salaries by 20%, awarded one hundred thousand naira as a Christmas bonus last year to each of them among other incentives. He is the first person under the present democratic dispensation to increase workers' take-home package even before the negotiation of the new national minimum wage of N70,000. He did not only give his consent to it but he increased it to N75,000.
