A socio-cultural group - the Ibadan Progressive Association (IPA) has appealed to Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi to implement the judgment of the National Industrial Court (NIC) on the state’s Council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) without delay.The association said it is desirable for Ajimobi to accede to the rule of law and social justice .

A statement signed by its Coordinator, Mutiu Akinloye, the association lamented the infiltration of the union by some leaders of opposition parties for selfish reasons.

The statement reads: “Since Governor Ajimobi has sworn to uphold the Constitution, he should also endeavour to uphold the rule of law and social justice in all its ramifications, no matter whose ox is gored.”

“It is unfortunate thatAlhaji Lateef Akinsola (aka) Tokyo has been a victim of political chess game by previous governments in their deliberate attempts to turn the NURTW into a political machinery against the personal wish of members of the union,” the association said.

They pleaded with Ajimobi to allow the court-reinstated chairman of the Oyo NURTW to enjoy the fruit of his judgment, stressing that “this is desirable in conformity with the slogan of the ruling party which is Democracy for Justice.”
