It is Another Paid Campaign Against Me – Labour Minister Responds To Call Of Her Appointment Termination 

The Minister of State for Labour, Hon. Nkiruka Onyejeocha, has asked President Bola Tinubu to ignore calls by some youth in the Labour Party (LP), for her appointment to be revoked.

The minister said the call for the termination of her appointment was another campaign against her and nothing else, hence it should be ignored.

Onyejeocha’s reaction follows a call by the Labour Party to the President to relieve the minister of her appointment because she has allegedly lost focus.

The National Youth Leader of the party, Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, at a press briefing claimed that the minister had lost her focus and failed to concentrate on the assignment given to her.

Ahanotu also accused the minister of being responsible for some crises within the Labour Party.

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.”

However, reacting to this, the minister distanced herself from any kind of crisis within the Labour Party, saying they should settle their self-inflicted internal crisis, and leave her alone.

The minister said the development was another paid campaign against her, especially coming in less than 24 hours after some members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) cautioned some of her traducers within and outside the party.
