Pensioners have not been paid their gratuity since the inception of this administration. Workers have not been promoted since the inception of this administration\u201d.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">She accused the governor of not employing new civil servants thereby making the state secretariat and hospitals to be empty.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cEverywhere in the secretariat, even the schools and hospitals are empty. No workers, people are not employed.\u201cThey (workers) should come all out during the 2023 elections and vote for the candidates of their choice, who will be able to take the welfare of workers as a first charge. That is exactly what we are saying.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThat is the essence of this sensitization that we are in too. Charity they say begins at home. Let him (Wike) come home and pay retirees their gratuities, pay pension arrears, promote workers and then employ.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe system is empty. It is not just to run from here and then you want to go to Abuja. There in Abuja, will you kill all the workers in Nigeria? Let him start the whole thing here (Rivers) so that we can give him the support. Without that, he will not have my support,\u201d she added.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has said that it won\u2019t support the presidential ambition of Rivers state Governor, Nyesom Wike.
