Rafiu Olohunwa Denies Emergence As New Lagos NURTW Chairman

Rafiu Olohunwa, a former Lagos State Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), has dismissed reports circulating online that he is now the new chairman of the union in Lagos State.

Olohunwa in a statement on Thursday, said those behind the reports of his emergence are only out to cause controversy and misunderstanding in the NURTW.

While reiterating his commitment to laws and due process, the former NURTW chairman, urged the public to disregard any information that was not personally signed by him or made available through his official social media handles.

He said, “Let me state emphatically that under no circumstances did I, Comrade Rafiu Akanni Olohunwa, authorise, approve, or partake in such misleading publication.

“As a law-abiding comrade of NURTW who understands the extant law, due process and has respect for constituted authority of the union under the leadership of our National President, Prof Ibikunle Tajudeen Baruwa, I can never be part of such a publication.

“This is obviously a cheap attempt to cause controversy and chaos in the NURTW with the use of social media and other forms to spread and promote unsubstantiated propaganda by detractors.”
