There are indications that some elements within Ondo State are planning to hijack the leadership of the NURTW or Park Management.
SUNSHINETRUTH News learnt that the NURTW was prescribed by the former Governor Rotimi Akeredolu and appointed the Union’s ex-Stare Chairman, Jacob Adebo Idajo as the Head of Parks managers in the state, but a court of law had since nullified the proscription.
Since the death of Akeredolu, there are plots to unseat Idajo, but the latest statement by Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has set the record straight.
PRESS STATEMENT
GOVERNOR AIYEDATIWA HAS NOT APPOINTED NURTW CHAIRMAN
The attention of the Ondo State Government has been brought to the misleading rumour of appointment of a new chairman for the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in the State.
We wish to state unequivocally that the Governor has not approved anyone as the chairman of the NURTW or the Parks Management Committee.
The Governor is primarily concerned about delivering the dividends of democracy to the good people of Ondo state and that has preoccupied his mind more at the moment.
We frown at anyone using the name of the Governor to cause unnecessary rancour within their respective organizations.
The government of Ondo state under the leadership of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa will not hesitate to deal decisively with anyone who may attempt to truncate the peace of the state under the guise of group agitations and ambition.
