The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Rivers State Chapter, has dismissed allegations by former Rivers State Head of Service, George Nweke, who claimed that the union was becoming politicized.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the NLC described Nweke’s claims as baseless and misleading, asserting that the union remains a non-partisan organization dedicated to workers’ welfare with no political affiliations. The union also refuted allegations that its State Chairman, Alex Agwanwor, had held private meetings with the Governor and received financial inducements.
The NLC, under the leadership of its State Chairman, has at all times acted in the best interest of workers without undue political influence. The Labour movement is driven by principles of fairness, transparency, and accountability, and we will not allow our integrity to be tarnished by baseless accusations. 'Dr. Nweke’s claim that the NLC Chairman has been holding private meetings with the Governor and receiving financial inducements is outright false and defamatory.
