The Comrade Ayuba Waba-led Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has been accused of instigating division in the Anambra State chapter of the union.
The leadership of the union in Anambra, led by Comrade Humphrey Nwafor and past chairmen of the union in the state, met and reviewed the leadership crisis in the state and are now alleging that the national president of the union was bent on foisting Mrs Chinwe Orizu on the union.
Nwafor and Orizu have had a running battle over who heads the Anambra State chapter of the NLC, with the Waba-led executive backing Orizu, while the Anambra State government recognizes and deals with Nwafor.
Nwafor who addressed Anambra workers at the Labour House, in Awka said, “We can not allow outsiders to foist a leadership on us. The national president wants to use his office to foist Chinwe on us because they both come from the Medical and Health Workers Union, but we will not allow that.
“Anambra State NLC is known for peace and unity of purpose. The state government, having been satisfied with reports it got from proceedings of the state executive council has congratulated us via a letter.”
Ex-chairmen of the State Congress who backs Nwafor included, Mr Anthony Ugozor, Goddy Ibekwe and Patrick Obianyor.
