PTD Renews Call To Rebuild NUPENG, Accuses General Secretary of Destroying Union’s Legacies

One of the prominent elders in Warri Zone of Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) Branch of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Comrade Blessing Dafinone has accused the General Secretary of the parent body, Afolabi Olawale of destroying the legacies which the forebears of the foremost union built when they were in the leadership saddle.

 

 

 

Dafinone made the remarks on Monday while speaking to members of the union who paid her a courtesy visit at Eko hotel in Lagos before returning back to her base in Delta State.

 

 

 

The union leader also maintained that members and staff of NUPENG are weeping because Mr. Olawale has destroyed the fabric of the union’s unity and growth.

 

 

 

She said, “NUPENG is loaded with man power potentials across board and we are respected for our hard work and intelligence. Such potentials will amount to nothing when not harnessed to effectively bring out greatness for our cherished staff at various zones and the National secretariat of our union.

 

 

 

“The leaders of NUPENG particularly the President, General Secretary and Trustee must show good example by reaching out to all aggrieved individuals across the branches particularly PTD, the preferred choice of the people are Comrade Lucky Osesua, Dayyabu Garga, Humble Obinna Power, Olabisi Akinlolu and others. By imposing Augustine Egbon on them as PTD national Chairman, through a Kangaroo election contrary to the order given by the National Industrial Court which clearly stated the delegates conference should be nondiscriminatory, all-inclusive and transparent, etc. It is regrettable that members and staff of NUPENG are weeping because Mr. Olawale Afolabi has destroyed the fabric of the union’s unity and growth.
