The Chairman, who stated this in an interview with Newsmen in Lafia, however dedicates his victory in the recently conducted NLC election to God and to the entire workers in the state.
According to him, his victory at the polls was miraculous because the workers stood by him despite enticement and intimidation by some forces who did not mean well for workers in the state.
“Given the sacrifices the workers made to ensure that I’m elected as the NLC Chairman, I will not led them down.
“The welfare of the workers would always at all times be the priority of the leadership under my watch in the next four years by the grace of God.
“We would always engage the government meaningfully because we are not fighting without compromising workers welfare,” Iya explained.
