BULLETIN FOUR
Fellow Ondo State workers!!!
LATEST ON NLC ONDO STATE LEADERSHIP: COM. ADEMOLA OLAPADE REMAINS OUR ACTING CHAIRPERSON
It has come to the attention of Ondo State workers that the recent decision by the NLC National Headquarters to impose an illegal Acting Chairperson on Ondo State Council of the Congress flagrant violation of the NLC Constitution which empowers the State Executive Council (SEC) members to meet and choose an "ACTING CHAIRMAN" for the Congress.
We also got to know that after careful consideration and in line with the NLC Constitution; Article 11(2)viii and also in upholding democratic principles with the power of the State Executive Council of the Congress, Twenty-Four (24) affiliate unions out of 30 affiliate unions in Ondo State have unanimously reaffirmed election of 11th July, 2024 where Comrade Olapade Ademola Adeniji emerged as the NLC Acting Chairperson through support of Twenty-seven (27) affiliate unions. And that the SEC-in-Session also strongly rejected the purported imposition of Comrade Akinyemi Olatunbosun (a member of NULGE) who to Ondo State Workers, remains one of the three NLC Vice Chairpersons in Ondo State.
We are aware of fruitless attempts by the embattled SA to the Governor on Union matters (Mr Bola Taiwo) to impose Olatunbosun by using his office and that of the Com. Ambali (NULGE National President/NLC National Treasurer) to impose Olatunbosun on Ondo Workers which had since been rejected by the ONDO NLC SEC. Do not forget that Mr Bola Taiwo (a former NULGE State President) has been using his office as the Governor's SA to oppress over 30 other labour unions in the state in favour of only NULGE (see *bulletin Three*).
It was crystal cleared that Twenty-Four (24) affiliate unions democratically and constitutionally operated on the basis of transparency, fairness, and collective decision-making despite that Four (4) out of the remaining Six (6) unions that unavoidably absent were solidly with the decision taken at the SEC meeting of 24th July, 2024; to which all Labour veterans and Stakeholders including S.A on Union Matters testified to at the special SEC meeting of Wednesday, 7th August, 2024 where Olatunbosun stood with no follower except NULGE, But Comrade Olapade Ademola Adeniji stood with Twenty-Seven (27) affiliate unions leaders firmly in the presence of all veterans and the embattled SA himself.
Also necessary that we advise TUC State Chairman (Com. Fatuase) to mind his business & stop using his platform to fan ember of discord in Ondo NLC. We know his questionable records. TUC state Exco & members should advise Fatuase appropriately before we expose him.
We believe that the appointment of leadership positions of NLC in the state should reflect the will and voice of SEC members as contained in the NLC Constitution, not the dictate by external forces like Bola Taiwo and Com. Ambali who are now recruiting some NULGE members/ASUSS members from the TUC to form 'Concerned Workers' to pass vote of confidence on Bola Taiwo. It is essential to maintain the integrity of Ondo State Congress and to ensure that all leadership appointments are conducted in a manner that respects Congress established procedures, values and constitution.
We Ondo Workers commend recent steps by the JNC leadership in constituting the new Minimum wage committee which reflects on major sectors in the public service.
WAY FORWARD IN ONDO NLC
We, Ondo State Workers urge the NLC National Headquarters to send a Representative from Abuja to confirm the claims of the SEC members who are from 27 affiliate unions and allow the Congress to move forward in the state. It will cost the NLC National nothing to do the needful before it is too late.
However, we advise Comrade Akinyemi Olatunbosun not to allow himself to be used to destroy Ondo NLC by his 'bosses'
Once again, we Ondo State workers urge our elected Chairmen and Secretaries of affiliate unions to continue to be united under Com. Ademola Olapade Adeniji to interface and negotiate our interests (especially the new Minimum Wage) with the State Head of Service (Mr Bayo Phillip) or other government representatives, apart from Bola Taiwo who is out to kill the strong voice of NLC by imposing his 'NULGE boy' on the Congress.
The truth is indeed sacrosanct and it shall prevail at the end.
Watch out for BULLETIN 5.
