NURTW will not engage in political violence ― Baruwa
The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has stated that the newly inaugurated caretaker committee in Oyo State will not engage in political violence, adding that it is not out to cause confusion but to standardise the operations of the union in the state.
President of the union, Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa, stated this while reacting to a statement credited to an Ibadan-based politician, Alhaji Bisi Olopoeniyan, where he alleged that the NURTW Caretaker Committee in Oyo State was inaugurated to disturb the 2023 governorship election in the state…….Continue Reading
The NURTW boss stated that the “Inauguration of the caretaker committee is in line with the provision of the union’s constitution, and not at the behest of any political party, group or individual.
“Also, the inauguration of the committee was not intended to engage in or foment any form of crisis or trouble. And the office that the committee took possession of is the property of the union.
“It is also important to correct the wrong notion that the union was proscribed. The union was not proscribed, the government only suspended the activities of the union temporarily and the union is currently in court to seek justice on the suspension.”
Alhaji Baruwa added, “We wish to use this medium to call on members of the public to discountenance the unfounded alarm being raised as the NURTW is a creation of the law and will always conduct its activities in line with the rule of law.”
