The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, has fired the Commissioner for Labour and Productivity, Ford Ozumba.

The Commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba, in a statement on Saturday, said the sacking was with immediate effect.

Uzodimma was said to have directed Ozumba to hand over all necessary documents to the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Labour and Productivity immediately.

While there was no reason given for the sack, it may not be unconnected with the rift between the Nigeria Labour Congress and the governor.

The NLC had accused officials of the Uzodimma Government on Tuesday of disrupting its state congress and unleashing mayhem on workers exercising their rights to elect their leaders.

The NLC president, Joe Ajaero, in a statement on Tuesday, had declared the union’s indefinite industrial action in the state.

Ajaero said the NLC had instructed its State Councils across Nigeria to prepare for the State Delegates’ Conference for the election of new leadership in all the council areas of the country.

He alleged that the Imo State Government “sought to influence the outcome of the elections in the state,” by offering gratifications to the delegates to vote for their “chosen candidates.”

“This meddlesomeness was resisted by the delegates who refused the unholy offerings and baits to vote for their chosen candidates,” he said.

The president claimed that the state government was enraged by the delegates’ rejection of their offerings and resorted to violence ostensibly to disrupt the exercise.

“When it was obvious to the government and their goons that their stooges were going to overwhelmingly lose in the elections, thugs who were armed to the teeth descended on the delegates inflicting various degrees of injuries on them, chasing them away and carting away materials meant for the conduct of the elections that was supposed to be at the heart of the conference.”

God bless Peter Obi

. Uzordima thinks he does not need the people votes again time will tell if uzordima wins 2nd terms then we should cancels the Inec and elections in this country

Labour Party needs to move in and save Imo State from the Supreme Court governor. Since Nigeria's return to democracy, Imo State has been the shadow of its former self.

Thank God imo's guber election date is still far so Peter Obi will have enough time to campaign for Labour Party candidate.

For Uzodimma to sack his commissioner,that shows the commissioner is a good person...
The commissioner must have disagreed with Uzodimma's (the supreme court governor) policy.

LP is now the "Jesus" of some people.
Some believe in them more than God!

All of you would be disappointed in the end!

They will HV sense by force... Obi is coming. LP is coming.

I am not interested in anything politics again in this country

True

When one door closes, another opens!!

Just yesterday, you were briefing us on the outcome of your meetings with the Labor leaders and the scheduled media briefing to call off the strike.

You are a good man and never in support of meddling into the elections of the Labor body but now, they heaped the whole blame on you.

I'm hopeful that you have made enough money to rebuild your burnt mansion in the village by the UGM because of this particular position you occupied in this administration.

I wish you all the best Arusi Orsu, Etodike na Orsu.

Hahahaha!

Everything Labour dey fear APC AND PDP governors,

I don't blame them Shaa, after the blow on their lips during the last election they don't want to take another chances.
