We fully support their decision and will stand by them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe visited several locations yesterday and observed significant development projects. We engaged with our members, and they affirmed that this government is making remarkable progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe previous narrative suggested that there was no money, but Governor Adeleke\u2019s administration has changed that perception.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NULGE president also noted that the Osun State chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, had already declared support for Governor Ademola Adeleke\u2019s administration and assured that the national leadership in Abuja shares the same stance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we toured the state, we saw peace and progress. We see no reason to alter a functioning system. Our decision is firm, and our priority remains the welfare and security of our workers,\u201d he affirmed.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Governor Adeleke, represented by his Deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, expressed gratitude for NULGE\u2019s solidarity. He reiterated the government\u2019s commitment to ensuring the well-being of Osun State workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe visit of the NULGE President is significant, as it demonstrates a genuine concern for his members. Our administration remains dedicated to ensuring peace and stability in Osun State,\u201d Adewusi said.<\/p>\n<p>He disclosed that Adeleke had instructed newly elected local government chairmen and councillors to stay away from secretariats to prevent any possible unrest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe plan was to create chaos in the secretariats and extend the disturbance to the state level to justify declaring a state of emergency. However, that attempt failed,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Arapasopo, Chairman of the Osun State NLC, supported the withdrawal of NULGE members from their offices, describing it as a necessary step to safeguard their well-being.<\/p>\n<p>Arapasopo also commended Governor Adeleke for prioritising workers\u2019 welfare and stated that Osun State workers would declare their support for the governor at the upcoming May Day celebrations, recognising his efforts in ensuring timely promotions and salary payments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe decision to withdraw services was made to protect lives and property. Governor Adeleke has remained committed to workers\u2019 welfare and has upheld his campaign promises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have never had it this good. Unlike past administrations, where promotions were given without financial backing, Governor Adeleke has regularised the system. Workers now receive their entitlements promptly,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
