The Rivers State branch of the Nigeria Labour Congress has rejected claims from George Nweke, who previously served as Head of Service. Nweke accused the union of becoming political, but NLC officials called these allegations false and misleading on Saturday. They firmly stated that their group stays neutral without political ties, focusing only on helping workers. The union leaders denied that Chairman Alex Agwanwor met privately with the Governor or took money.
NLC members labeled these accusations as harmful to their reputation. They stressed that leadership only talks with government officials about real worker issues through proper channels. The union stands behind good leadership, stable conditions, and legal processes in Rivers State. They challenged Nweke to show real proof instead of making empty public statements that hurt their standing.
The labor group explained that its position about the emergency situation in Rivers comes from real facts and what helps workers most. It emphasized that worker needs must come before any political fights happening around it. NLC asked Nweke and other politicians to stop trying to pull the worker movement into their political arguments and battles.
Labor representatives promised the public they would keep fighting for worker rights without giving in to outside pressure. The full statement addressed each claim point by point, showing how the union maintains ethical standards. They described themselves as champions of fairness who act with honesty and clear accountability to members. Union officials expressed disappointment that someone would try to damage their reputation with statements meant to cause division.
