LUCKY LAWAL

The President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa, has debunked the rumour going round that he has affirmed the Chairmanship of Alhaji Hakeem Bodunrin a.k.a Iyeru.

Alhaji Baruwa said this on Thursday 19th March, 2020, after reading about the allegation leveled against him from a news website on the internet.
The NURTW President warned against any rumour against him by some internet imposters and also against anyone picking words against him, which can cause the breach of peace of members in the state and in Nigeria.
According to Alhaji Baruwa, “I never emphasized that Hakeem Bodunrin, a.k.a Iyeru, is the authentic State Chairman of the State and has never asked him to constitute his members for any inauguration”.
He added, “Iyeru came to visit me for the first time since I emerged as the President of the Union on Wednesday 18th March, 2020 and I welcome him and his team as the President of the Union”.
“Meanwhile, for the benefit of those who are not aware of the happenings, the leadership tussle of the union in Ogun State was twice adjudicated upon by Courts of competent jurisdiction, the authenticity of Comrade Mustapha Ismaila Adewale a.k.a Yaro Ade led executives as duly elected. They have been issued the Certificate of Return.”
“Now claiming that I, the President of the union, declared Hakeem as the Ogun State NURTW Chairman is out of place and only in the writers wildest imagination as nothing of such ever happened and I am warning all the members of the union in the thirty six States of the Federation including the Federal Capital, Abuja, to stop the dissemination of fake rumour against the union because anything said without measure is meager.”
“Desist from spreading rumours; all union crisis must remain in the union and be settled within the union by the organ of the union at the National Headquarters according to the union’s constitution as stated in article 42 section 8 paragraph 4 and 5 as amended in 2018” Alhaji Baruwa concluded.
