Edo NLC Crisis Escalates as Caretaker Member Resigns Amid Power Struggle
The crisis within the Edo State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) deepens as a caretaker member, Ochei, resigns, citing coercion and protection of vested interests. The national NLC inaugurated a caretaker team on August 28, which Ochei claims lacks legitimacy.
This resignation comes amidst a power struggle following the dissolution of the state executive by the national body. The Edo State Government and House of Assembly support Bernard Egwakhide's leadership, while Ochei's exit highlights the internal strife within the Edo NLC.
The situation remains tense as different factions vie for control and recognition within the state's labor union.
