The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has had its activities banned by the Ondo State Government, alleging a “prolonged crisis” within the union.

Following the suspension, a park management committee was constituted to oversee all of the state’s motor parks.

Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu issued the directive over the weekend through his deputy, Lucky Ayedatiwa.

Jacob Adebo also known as ‘Idajo’ (Chairman), Festus Obasooto (Vice Chairman), and Bayode Gbenga (Vice Chairman) were appointed to the park management committee (Secretary).

Gbonya Oyedepo Adeniyi, Olalekan Awojobi, Ojo Olanipekun, Bamidele Olopade, Sunday Olawuyi, Ogedegbe Ogunmuyiwa, Ademola Odudu, Jones Akinrinlola, Akinyosade Akinolu, Ezekiel Ademola were among the other members of the committee.

The committee also includes Johnson Akinribisi, Emidun Simeon, Lawrence Ikuomehinola, Olowere Amos, Tojue Atijosan, Ogunwo Olusegun, Oyedele Monebi, and High Chief Ariyo.

Some NURTW members in the state had previously protested against what they described as the state government’s meddling in the activities of the union’s state council.

The protesting drivers in Owo, Owo Local Government Area of the state, said that there was a plot by people in the state’s corridors of power to utilize the state machinery to proscribe the union if members refused to accept the immediate past chairman’s (Jacob Adebo) imposition.

The union, on the other hand, recommended the state government to let the union’s Constitution, which mandated elections, run its course.

Deputy Governor of Edo State, Mr. Marvellous Omobayo, has reacted to the allegation of being the sponsor of the crisis rocking the Edo State chapter of Labour Party, LP.

State Youth Leader of the LP, Ken Omusi, alongside some youths of the party had last week Thursday invaded the secretariat of the LP, Benin, declared the state executive sacked and pronounced himself as the acting state chairman of the party.

Reacting to the incident, during a press briefing last Saturday, May 11, 2024, governorship candidate of the LP, Barrister Olumide Akpata, accused the deputy governor of sponsoring the youth leader to cause crisis in the party particularly the invasion of the secretariat.

But reacting to the allegation, the deputy governor in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Victor Adefemi, and made to INFO DAILY, “disclaimed the spurious allegations of the Labour Party governorship candidate.”

According to the statement, the deputy governor has no place for violence and hatred in his style of politics, urging the LP , governorship candidate to go and verify.

“During the run up to the Labour Party Primaries earlier this year, he showed exemplary leadership by refusing to be part of all the violent intrigues and ‘monetary melodramas’ that led to the emergence of Olumide Akpata as LP’s governorship candidate,” the statement added.

Adefemi, while unequivocally stating that the allegations are “unfounded and baseless,” urged Akpata to “show decorum when making public statements.”

“Barrister Olumide Akpata is hereby urged to excuse the Deputy Governor from Labour Party’s crises. Omobayo has no place for violence and hatred in his style of politics, the Labour Party’s candidate should go and verify this,” the statement added.
