The Ondo State Government has refuted the recent rumors surrounding the appointment of a new chairman for the National Union of Road Transport Workers in the state.
In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary, Ebenezer Adeniyan, the government clarified that no individual has been approved as the chairman of the NURTW or the Parks Management Committee.
According to the statement, the governor of the State, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, is fully committed to delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of Ondo State.
The government emphasized that the governor’s primary focus is on addressing the pressing needs of the state, and any rumors regarding appointments divert attention from these crucial matters.
The statement read in part “The attention of the Ondo State Government has been brought to the misleading rumour of appointment of a new chairman for the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in the State.
“We wish to state unequivocally that the Governor has not approved anyone as the chairman of the NURTW or the Parks Management Committee.
“The Governor is primarily concerned about delivering the dividends of democracy to the good people of Ondo state and that has preoccupied his mind more at the moment.
“We frown at anyone using the name of the Governor to cause unnecessary rancour within their respective organizations.
“The government of Ondo state under the leadership of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa will not hesitate to deal decisively with anyone who may attempt to truncate the peace of the state under the guise of group agitations and ambition.”
