The National Vice-President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, has warned the outgoing President of the union, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, to desist from raising false alarm.
He described his (Baruwa’s) action as a sign of bring jittery.
Agbede stated this while reacting to a newspaper report credited to Baruwa that some people were planning to cause breach of the peace at the Abuja national headquarters of the union.

He said Baruwa’s action showed that the end of his administration had come “and he is trying to stir up or provoke trouble by raising false alarm.”
“From the statement he issued, it shows that he (Baruwa) is jittery and the fear of losing his seat is already disturbing him, hence such a statement.
“Nobody is planning any protest. We shall use legal means to remove him from office. He may end up in jail if he is not careful. No amount of false alarm can save him from being removed. We share joint tickets and our tenure will expire on August 28, 2023. He has to go. In 2019, he was our candidate from the Southwest, but now we have rejected him.
“It is unfortunate that most of the people that supported him in 2019 to become president have been forced to join parks and garages management committee due to his highhandedness and selfish interest,” Agbede said.
He advised security agencies to disregard his false alarm, but should rather focus on him and watch him closely, as the tone of his statement suggested that he might be nursing some evil plans and using the statement as a trick to divert the attention of security agencies from his evil plans.
