Bamgbola and his co-travelers in NURTW are liars ~ Akeem Bodunrin

The State agent appointed by the Ogun State Interim Committee on Transportation for National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Akeem Bodunrin has described the allegations leveled against him by Former Chairman of  Abeokuta North Branch of the union, Mr. Yusuf Bamgbola as unfounded and ficticious.

Alhaji Bodunrin popularly known as Iyeru said despite the fact that the tenure of Bamgbola had expired, they did not suspend any union member or leader, but they still allowed them to operate in all the Motor parks in Ogun State. Bodunrin said if Bamgbola whom they had worked under him for more than 20 years could call them thugs, that meant that's what they had been using them for more than decade.

"They wanted us to fight this present government led by Governor Prince Dapọ Abiọdun but we opposed the idea that we should not been seeing as fighting Government,  Bodunrin said.

Alhaji Bodunrin said Ogun NURTW chapter Is a peace loving organization, with well educated individuals as members. He however explained that he was only one appointed by Ogun State Government to collect revenues from buses and taxis across Ogun State. He said those who were parading themselves as Union leaders are impostors. Alhaji Bodunrin urged the union members across the state to embrace peace with full support for Governor Dapo Abiodun led administration.

Amosun's Councillors sack Council Chairman, Vice, others for supporting Dapo Abiodun

Some Councillors in Ogun Waterside, Abigi had impeached the Executive chairman of the local government, Comrade Femi Onanuga on the order of Governor Ibikunle Amosun. It was alleged that the governor ordered the Councillors to remove Onanuga, and his vice, following his refusal to support Allied Peoples movement (APM) governorship candidate, Hon. Kunle Akinlade who was favoured by Amosun. 

Akinlade was reportedly embarrassed in Ogun waterside Local government when he visited the local government for campaign tour as the traditional rulers were not invited by the Chairman to honour him. It was also reported that Onanuga had been working with All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Prince (Dr.) Dapo Abiodun and this did not go down well with Governor Amosun. The governor then instructed the Councillors loyal to him to remove Onanuga, his vice and the Councillors who supported Abiodun.
