The leadership crisis in the Osun State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has taken a new turn, as a faction loyal to Kazeem Oyewale has taken over the union’s state secretariat despite an order suspending its activities.
Oyewale, popularly known as Asiri Eniba and a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), took control of the secretariat located in the Ijetu area of Osogbo from Wakili Nurudeen, also known as Alowonle, a member of the Accord Party, who had claimed a legal mandate to remain in office.
The development followed a violent clash between rival factions after supporters of the Eniba-led group staged a protest, disrupting business activities in the state capital and leading to the arrest of some suspects.
