NLC Chieftan says governors in who oppose the new minimum wage will not be re-elected.
Mr Adamu Garba, Vice Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress in Gombe State, has warned that governors who opposed to the new minimum wage will lose 2019 election.
Garba gave the warning in an interview with a news outlet in Gombe State on Thursday.
"Many governorship aspirants are willing to implement the minimum wage if given the chance in their various states, '' the NLC chieftain said.
He said that the state council of NLC would not compromise its resolve to ensure compliance with the directives of the National Secretariat on the strike, to press for a new national minimum wage for workers in the state.
"All affiliates of NLC have been directed to comply fully with the nationwide strike. We have mobilised our members to ensure total compliance,'' Garba said.
According to him, NLC has achieved more than 90 per cent on the implementation of 2011 minimum wage of N18, 000.
He was optimistic that the struggle would yield the anticipated victory for serving and retired civil servants.
