OpenLife Nigeria reports that the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC have endorsed the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, Barrister Asue Ighodalo.
Disclosing this on Friday, governor Godwin Obaseki said that while playing host to the two unions in Benin, he divulged the game plan of the police and the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) to destabilise Edo State and pave the way for the devious rigging plot of the APC in the governorship election.
According to him, the plans to rig the election in favour of APC will be resisted.
He explained that for the past seven years as a governor of the state, the relationship between Edo State and the two unions has been cordial.
“I am deeply grateful to our trade union leaders and members for honouring me with a ‘Thank You Rally, “ he said.
The full statement obtained from his Facebook wall reads:
For eight years, we have enjoyed a cordial working relationship without a single labour strike.
Besides implementing several bold reforms and programmes to guarantee the welfare of workers in the state, my administration also built a magnificent Labour House for the union groups.
I also thank them for endorsing Dr. Asue Ighodalo, the governorship candidate of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He is a man who has the love of Edo people at heart and has been part of our developmental strides in the state.
Workers in Edo State have been invaluable partners in the development of our state and its people.
With their continued support, the support of our people, and the might of Almighty God, no federal might can overturn the votes in the state.
Democracy must work for Nigeria to survive, and democracy means that the people’s wishes must be respected.
