Leaders of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in the southwest zone of the country have called for the removal of the National President, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa.
In a letter written to the National Executive Council (NEC) members through the union’s General Secretary in Abuja, the southwest leaders urged the NEC to “set machinery in motion for the removal of the National President, Baruwa, based on the infractions and we will earnestly be waiting for your urgent and speedy response.”
They also accused Baruwa of not giving Lagos State Council Chairman Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (MC Oluomo) a fair hearing and conducting a proper investigation before punitive actions were taken.
The letter tagged: ”Report of continuous violation of the union constitution and misrules of Mr. Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa, the National President NURTW”, was signed by 20 leaders of NURTW Southwest (Zone II) comprising Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti state councils.
The letter reads in part: “In the advent of this administration, it inherited a complete six working and operational states in the zone and to our dismay, Zone II Council had seriously been factionalised and some states councils have subsequently embraced the Park Management Scheme due to inherent and overbearing attitude and conduct of the President, thereby presently leaving just only two states namely: Osun and Ekiti crisis-free.”
