Kebbi NLC challenges Malami’s claims on workers’ welfare

The Kebbi State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has rejected the promises made to workers by the African Democratic Congress, ADC, governorship candidate, Abubakar Malami, describing them as political statements. The NLC chairman in the state, Usman Murtala, stated this in a statement issued in Birnin Kebbi while reacting to Malami’s Independence Day address. Murtala said Malami’s pledges on pensions and gratuities did not reflect the situation in the state, claiming that retired civil servants had continued to receive their payments without backlogs. He also rejected Malami’s proposal to raise the minimum wage for Kebbi workers to N110,000, saying the state government currently pays N75,000, including leave grants. The NLC chairman said the union would ordinarily avoid political disputes but considered it necessary to respond to claims concerning workers’ welfare and conditions of service. He urged politicians to verify their facts before making public statements on issues affecting workers. Kebbi NLC challenges Malami’s claims on workers’ welfare

He said the victims were taken to hospital for treatment, adding that the violence later escalated at the African Club along Calabar Road, where another meeting was scheduled. According to him, hoodlums allegedly shot at the party’s convoy and damaged vehicles belonging to members of the consultative team. Jarvis-Archibong said about 3,000 supporters attended the exercise and that the party had notified the police ahead of the tour, expecting adequate security. He said the party restrained its supporters from retaliating and instead moved its convoy to the Commissioner of Police for protection. The candidate said the PDP would petition the Inspector-General of Police, the Department of State Services (DSS) and other relevant security agencies over the incidents. He warned that continued attacks on political activities could undermine the democratic process and lead to a breakdown of law and order as preparations for the 2027 elections intensify. The PDP State Publicity Secretary, in a separate statement, condemned the attacks and urged security agencies to identify and prosecute those responsible. The party said it had reported the incidents to the Commissioner of Police, Cross River Command, and appealed to its members to remain calm and avoid retaliatory actions. However, the state chapter
