Kogi Guber: 21 labour unions resolve to work for Ododo/Joel

Twenty one state labour unions in Kogi State, have resolved to work for the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the forthcoming November 11 governorship election.

Our Kogi State Correspondent, reports that the union leaders and their members gave their resolve to work for the APC candidates on Monday after an address by Comr. Onuh Edoka, who doubles as State Chairman, Steering Committee, Ododo/Joel Labour Support Group.

The Union leadership hinged their resolve to work for the interests of the APC candidate in view of the fact that, as state workers, they have received all the attention regarding their salaries and thus have no reason not to support the APC governorship candidates.

The Union pointed out that, as former workers and labour leaders, the combination of Alhaji Usman Ahmed Ododo and Comr. Joel Salifu Oyibo has thus far acquired the necessary experience needed to protect the interests of workers if elected.

The leadership of the unions, Comr. Onuh Edoka, State Chairman, Steering Committee, Ododo/Joel Labour Support Group, for Comr. Alhaji Ododo Ahmed Usman and Comr. Joel Salifu Oyibo, said the mobilisation tour organised to meet with the labour leaders was an idea for the labour movement to have a voice and place in governance.

The immediate past NLC Chairman described the emergence of Alhaji Ododo and Comr. Joel as history made in the state for workers to emerge as governorship and deputy governorship candidates in the state.

Comr. Edoka expressed optimism that the Ododo/Joel ticket will lead Kogi workers out of the challenges faced in the past years by successive administrations.

He said it is a mandate that, if realised, would undoubtedly wipe away and alleviate the struggles workers and labour leaders have faced.
