A Former Lagos State Chairman, National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Rafiu Akanni Olohunwa has described the publication referring to him as the current chairman of NURTW as misleading and an attempt by mischievous elements to cause uproar in Lagos.
In a statement signed and issued by him on Thursday, Olohunwa distanced himself from a malicious publication.
He said: “Let me state emphatically that under no circumstance 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, Professor 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.”
The former NURTW boss then urged the public to disregard any information that was not personally signed by him or made available through his official social media handles.
