The statement said that the letter sent to Obaigbenna on Wednesday, noted that the action would take place with the full backing of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress.
It said it was particularly pained that Obaigbena had reneged on his promise after assuring the NUJ leadership of the payment.
