That is unfair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow will a government, it has never happened in this state, that built a secretariat for NLC and TUC at the same time be anti-labour?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wike noted that Itubo was also involved in other antagonistic activities that totally destroyed the cordial relationship that once existed between workers and the state government.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/03\/09\/breaking-wike-vows-to-chase-atiku-ayu-others-from-pdp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Governor<\/a> blamed her for the delay workers had witnessed in getting their due promotion but said with the new NLC executive in place, promotion would be implemented for workers expeditiously.<\/p>\n<p>Wike said: \u201cNow that she has left, to welcome you, we are going to start the promotion process. I didn\u2019t want her to take credit. You should take the credit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, there is nothing the government cannot do for you if we have a good relationship. There is how you go about it. You don\u2019t go about plotting against the downfall of a government that will also affect the welfare of your members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wike pointed to the reality of the state Civil Service has, for the first time, one of their own as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n<p>The Governor wondered why Rivers workers were not excited and enthusiastic about the opportunity given to them to own the electoral process to ensure victory for Sir. Siminialayi Fubara.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cSo, I thought that the civil service, the union ought to have taken it up themselves to say this campaign is our own, that we are getting one of us now who will be in charge of the affairs of this State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe deputy (running mate) is also experienced in civil service job. She has also been a permanent secretary, became a commissioner and a lecturer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t need to come and speak to you. You are the ones to take it upon yourselves. Can we miss this opportunity now?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recalling his experience, Wike said: \u201cI am not a civil servant, so, it even took me time to understand the rudiment of civil service bureaucracy and all that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, this is somebody, who has passed through these levels; from the junior cader up to senior cader to Permanent Secretary and become Accountant-General. So, who is more qualified to preside over the state?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not all these people who are in private businesses. Private business is not public service.
