Presidency urged to make pronouncement over Postmaster-General office — Coalition

The Presidency has been called upon to, as a matter of urgency, make a pronouncement over the refusal of the former NIPOST Postmaster-General, Mr Adeyemi Sunday Adepoju, to relinquish office for the new Postmaster-General, Mrs Tola Odeyemi.

The call was made by a Coalition of Civil Society Networks, which expressed grave concern about the ongoing security breach, trust deficit, and unrest within the premises of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) caused by the actions of the former Postmaster-General, Mr Adeyemi Adepoju Sunday.

The Coalition, in a statement by Comrade Zakari Hashim, Coordinator, stated that Adeyemi Sunday, who has been removed from his position, is refusing to resign and continues to impersonate that he has been reinstalled by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Coalition stressed that this situation is causing unnecessary chaos and instability at NIPOST.

According to the Coalition, “We have observed with deep dismay that Mr Adepoju Sunday has allegedly mobilised a group of individuals, posing as NIPOST staff, to protest and disrupt the functioning of the organisation.”

“These actions not only undermine the trust and integrity of NIPOST but also pose a threat to the security and stability of the institution.

We would like to reaffirm our unwavering support for the newly appointed CEO/Postmaster-General, Mrs. Tola Odeyemi, whose appointment is a testament to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda,” the group stated.

It also stated that “this agenda aims to bring capable individuals to lead the nation towards economic development, growth, and prosperity.”

The Coalition added, “Mrs Tola Odeyemi, with her wealth of experience in technology and the postal space, is well-equipped to upgrade NIPOST services to meet global standards.

We have full confidence in her ability to lead NIPOST to greater heights and urge her to justify the confidence placed in her by President Tinubu.”

In light of the ongoing situation, the Coalition urgently called upon the Nigerian Police Force to investigate and take appropriate action against Adeyemi Adepoju on Sunday.

“It is essential to determine the reasons for his continued presence at NIPOST and to ensure that the security and operations of the organisation are not compromised,” it stressed.

The Coalition concluded, stating that “we believe in the rule of law and peaceful transitions of power in government agencies.

The actions of Mr Sunday not only undermine this principle but also threaten the stability and credibility of NIPOST.

It is imperative that this situation be resolved promptly and in accordance with the law.”
