The newly inaugurated leader of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, has advised the immediate past President of the union, Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, to stop issuing empty threats and face the reality of the expiration of his tenure.
Agbede stated this while reacting to statement credited to Alhaji Saliu Adamu of Nasarawa and Alhaji Ibrahim Sanda Kuje of Federal Capital Territory ( FCT) councils, threatening bloodbath at the union’s national secretariat.
He told Baruwa in a statement on Sunday to stop dreaming about his chances of coming back to the union, alleging that he had done enough damage to the NURTW in the last four years.
Agbede regretted that the authors of the statement were ignorant of the current events in the union.
“As at today, NURTW is back in Lagos. Our men with their white and green uniforms are operating in Lagos now. And very soon, other states in the southwest will join the union. We are trying to correct the mistakes made by Baruwa.
Agbede advised Baruwa to stop blackmailing and blaming a former president of the union, Alhaji Najeem Yasin, as architect of his problems.
“Our former President, Alhaji Yasin, is an elder statesman who is playing the role of father to all. But the question for Baruwa and his gang is: ‘Do you expect Alhaji Yasin to fold his arms and watch you destroy the union he and others laboured to build? No reasonable leader will stand and watch some inexperienced people destroy the legacies they built.”
He berated Baruwa for neglecting all efforts and advice from elders before the problems aggravated.
Agbede however called on security agencies to monitor the activities of Baruwa for reasons best known to him.
