Following an alleged financial improprieties and non-challant attitude to issues concerning the union members, the South-East zonal Council of Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employee-AUPCTRE has passed a vote of no confidence on the Ag. Zonal Chairman Comrade Chike and Zonal Secretary Comrade Godwin Eze.

According to a communiqué issued at the end of their zonal council meeting held in Owerri recently, stated intra alia; “both officers ceases to function in those offices and on behalf of the zone with immediate effect. They are also barred from attending NEC, NGC and or Pre-NDC meetings on behalf of the Eastern Zonal Council”.

The communiqué further resolved “those leaders mandated to speak on its behalf and represent the zonal council on all Pre-NDC meetings, NEC and NGC and with any group or zone is Comrade Engr. Chris Elibe, -National Deputy President, Comrade Mercy Okezie-President NLC Women Wing and Comrade Isidore Opara-Secretary assigned to Ebonyi State.

AUPCTRE South-East zone in the communiqué frowned seriously at the non-challant attitude and refusal of the zonal acting Chairman and Zonal Secretary to convene a formal meeting of the union to discuss the myriads of problems facing her members and State Councils within the zone despite several requests, appeals including letters written to them.

The communiqué viewed with dismay the alleged sharing of assets of the zone with the newly established South-South zone without the consent of the Eastern Council.
