Ondo NURTW dismisses claims of leadership dissolution

n n

Mr Ademola Odudu, the Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Ondo State, has dismissed his alleged removal by court, describing such claim as baseless.

n

Odudu, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Akure on Tuesday, said he was not a party to any court case.

n

He clarified that the leadership of the union in Ondo State was not a party to the November 2024 Court of Appeal judgment over the national leadership of the union.

n

Odudu stated that he was neither involved nor listed as a defendant in any court case or judgment concerning the leadership of the union.

n

He disclosed that no court had ordered him to vacate his office as the chairman to pave the way for an interim leadership of the union.

n

“I’m not even involved in any court case; I’m not part of the judgment, and not even part of the defendants of that judgment.

n

“The case involves former leaders in Lagos and Abuja. So, Ondo State has no business in the suit,” Odudu said.

n

He further clarified that the state branch was not under any caretaker arrangement, emphasising his status as a constitutionally elected officer.

n

“We are not a caretaker committee; I’m a constitutionally elected chairman,” he said.

n

Odudu reaffirmed his position as chairman, challenging anyone claiming otherwise to provide evidence.

n

“There is nothing like caretaker committee in Ondo State NURTW,” he said.
