The Anambra State House of Assembly and the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Anambra State Chapter, have announced the amicable resolution of issues arising from a recent two-day industrial action involving Chief Tony Muobike, the member representing Aguata Constituency Two, and the NLC.
This resolution was confirmed by the Majority Leader of the Assembly, Sir Ikenna Ofodeme, and the State NLC Chairman, Comrade Humphrey Nwafor, following a meeting held at the legislative complex in Awka.
Addressing journalists, Sir Ikenna expressed surprise at the social media reports regarding the incident, stating that there was no clear justification for the situation. He emphasized that the 8th Assembly and the NLC share a common agenda, mutual understanding, and interests, and affirmed that the NLC’s actions are always in the best interest of the state and Nigeria.
Comrade Nwafor confirmed that the matter had been resolved and that the media reports were exaggerated. He praised the 8th Assembly for their effective legislation, passage of bills, and motions, and reaffirmed their continued partnership with the lawmakers for the state’s development. Comrade Nwafor also highlighted that a forward path has been established for the state’s workers to enhance progress in the state.
Additionally, the State Chairman of the Trade Union Congress, Comrade Chris Ogbonna, and the State Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees, Comrade Chikwelu Adigwe, noted that the altercation was blown out of proportion, assuring Ndi Anambra that the issue had been duly resolved.
The meeting was also attended by Barrister Obi Nweke, the member representing Anambra East Constituency, and Barrister Patrick Okafor, the member representing Onitsha North Two Constituency.
