With less than three months into the election of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), its caretaker chairmen across six states of the South West, have thrown their weight behind the second-term ambition of the union’s current president, Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa.
This was contained in a statement signed by the leaders of the union in the South West, which was forwarded to the Nigerian Tribune.
The NURTW leaders in a statement jointly signed by Chief Olalekan Folorunsho, who is the Osun State chairman as well as zonal chairman; Abideen Olajide (Oyo State chairman), Joseph Falope (Ekiti State chairman), Rauf Fakorede (Osun State chairman), Fatai Adesina (Lagos State chairman), Oluwatoyin Olaoye (Ondo State chairman) and Ismail Mustapha (Ogun State chairman), also passed a vote of confidence on Baruwa.
They attributed their resolve to back Baruwa to his leadership qualities and managerial capacity in handling matters affecting NURTW as a body and the welfare of its members.
While expressing optimism that the proscription order placed on the activities of the NURTW in some South-West states would soon be lifted, the transport leaders, however, deplored some of their members for the stoking crisis in a number of states, noting that such development was inimical to the interest of the transport union.
The statement read: “The meeting held today resolved that the authentic delegates from the South West zone who are duly recognised by the national headquarters do affirm our loyalty to the present administration led by Baruwa.
“We thank the national headquarters under the leadership of Baruwa for standing by our zone despite the travails we are going through at the moment. We are also supporting Baruwa for a second term as president of NURTW, “the statement concluded.
