The Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) branch of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has urged its members not to work against the policies of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Lucky Osesua, the national chairman of the union, said this while addressing journalists at the end of its delegates’ conference on Thursday in Abuja.
He said, “This is a time for the PTD members to come together to improve their welfare and also focus on the primary objectives of the union, which are the delivery of petroleum products to all the states and locations within the federation.
“We appeal to you not to fail for the unrealistic promises of the opposition. It is important to say that if we did not challenge the rascalities, those unrealistic promises would not be made.
“Our mantras: not to in any way intend to work against the progressive and seamless policies of the administration of President Bola Tinubu.”
Mr Osesua, therefore, appealed to members to be calm and loyal, law-abiding, and go about their daily business without fear of harassment or intimidation from anyone.
Those elected at the conference were Lucky Osighe Osesua as national chairman, Dayyabu Garga as first deputy national chairman, Peter Muodebelu as second deputy national chairman, and Humble Obinna as national secretary, among others.
