NURTW tussle: Oyo Artisans appeal to Auxiliary, Ejiogbe to eschew violence
The Chairman, Oyo state Tradesmen and Artisans, Alhaji Hamzat Kolayode has appealed to the contending factions of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in the state, headed by the acting chairman in the state, Alhaji Bideen Olajide Ejiogbe and a former acting chairman of the union, Alhaji Lamidi Mukaila to eschew violence and ensure smooth transition of power between the two camps in the state.
Alhaji Kolayode made this known when he led members of the state executive of the union on a solidarity visit to Alhaji Mukaila at his office, Alakia, Ibadan.
In the last few weeks, tension have risen among the rank and file of the union in the state following the preparation of Alhaji Mukaila’s camp to assume the leadership of the union in the state following the victory of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state in the March 9 gubernatorial election in the state.
