Labour Minister Nkiruka React to LP’s Call for Termination of Her Appointment

Hon. Nkiruka Onyejeocha, the Minister of State for Labor, has requested that President Bola Tinubu disregard requests by certain young members of the Labour Party (LP) to have her appointment withdrawn.

The minister stated that the demand to revoke her appointment was merely another anti-minister campaign and ought to be disregarded.

In response to the Labour Party’s request that the minister be relieved of her duties due to purported lack of focus, Onyejeocha reacted.

At a press conference, the party’s National Youth Leader, Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, asserted that the minister had been distracted and had not been paying attention to the task at hand.

Ahanotu also charged that the minister was to blame for a few problems in the

The Labour Party Youth Leader said, “We are calling on the present government to relieve Onyejeocha of her ministerial role as she has lost focus, and she has refused to concentrate on the assignment given to her. Nigerians should note the ‘unholy alliance’ between Onyejeocha and some of the Labour Party expelled members led by Chief Lamidi Apapa, whose purpose is to ensure that crisis is sustained perpetually in the party.”

In response, the minister dissociated herself from any internal turmoil inside the Labour Party, stating that they ought to resolve their self-inflicted internal strife and give her some space.

The minister claimed that the event was just another funded campaign directed towards her, particularly because it occurred less than a day after the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) members warned some of her detractors both inside and outside the organization.
