The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has said that it has no reason to work against the interest of Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State in the 2026 governorship election holding in the state.
The union spoke against the backdrop of threat by a faction of the union to work against Governor Adeleke in the 2026 governorship polls.
However, a Special Adviser to the NURTW National President and coordinator of the South West Elders Forum of the union, Alhaji Moshood Ajao said there’s no basis for the union to work against Governor Adeleke in 2026.
He said the statement credited to Chief Kazeem Oyewale on behalf of the union was his own personal view, adding that Oyewale did not speak on behalf of the union.
Ajao said Oyewale lacks the locus standi to speak on behalf of the NURTW at any level., claiming that he (Oyewale) was not an elected state official of the union but only served as the chairman, Oroki branch of the union.
He stressed that the NURTW is a registered trade union and does not belong to any political party, hence the union has no mandate to vote out Governor Adeleke.
The NURTW boss urged members of the union and the general public to disregard the threat by Oyewale, even as he urged the government to remain focus.
He appealed to Governor Adeleke to grant the request of the National Administrative Council (NAC)of the union, seeking an audience with him to strengthen the existing relationship and synergy between the union and Osun State government.
