All the zonal chapters of Tricycle Owners and Operators Association of Nigeria (TOOAN) in Lagos state have pledged allegiance to council chairman of the National Union of Road Transport workers (NURTW), Lagos chapter, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya Popularly known as MC Oluomo.
TOOAN chapter chairmen and scores of members stormed the Agege office of the NURTW to express their grievances over the interference of the national body of NURTW in TOOAN activities.
They also issued out a stern warning to the Zone C TOOAN chapter chairman ,Alhaji Azeez Abiola popularly known as Istijabah to desist from parading himself as the overall chairman in Lagos state.
Coordinator of the chairmen and Zone ‘A’ Chairman Alhaji Kamoli Bakare (aka Papi), said the zonal chairmen are unaware and never subscribed to the appointment of Abiola as their leader.
“TOOAN comprises five Zones – A, B, C, D, and E, of which I’m the chairman of Zone ‘A’ as well as the coordinator of the zones. We are operating under the NURTW and we have confirmed that NURTW has not appointed Abiola as our chairman. So, we consider the letter he’s parading on social media as untrue,” he said.
According to him, five of them including Abiola were interviewed for the position of zonal chairmen and they were sworn in on March 12, 2020, for a four-year term in office.
TOOAN zone D chairman Comrade Taofeeq Azeez urged the NURTW National president Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa to cancel and retrieve the letter given to Abiola if any was ever given to him
