The Abia State government had on Saturday, 26 October, 2024 urged the workers in the state to call their leadership to order, that NLC leadership was exhibiting an unprovoked hostile disposition.
This followed a letter reportedly written by NLC leadership to the Abia State House of Assembly, where the labour leaders alleged that the state government wants to cede 90% of local government funds to the Abia State government, leaving the LGAs with only 10%.
The State government which spoke through Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Governor Alex Otti, said the NLC leadership was peddling fake news.
