Governorship Election: Aiyedatiwa teams up with NURTW, MC Oluomo
The National Union of Road Transport Workers in Ondo says it will work to ensure that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa continues as the governor of the state in the governorship election scheduled to be held on November 16.
The NURTW chair in Ondo, Ademola Odudu, made the promise on Thursday at the union headquarters in Akure.
Mr Odudu said that the union’s decision to support the governor followed his achievements on road infrastructure development and his dedication to addressing the concerns of transport workers.
He urged all drivers in the state to continue to rally support for the governor’s election.
“We have seen firsthand the positive impact of Gov. Aiyedatiwa’s leadership in our sector. His administration has not only improved our road networks but has also ensured the safety and prosperity of our members.
“We believe that his election into office come Nov. 16 will bring even more development to Ondo state. We are a union of individuals committed to the progress of Ondo State. Our support for Governor Aiyedatiwa is a reflection of our shared vision for the state’s future,” Mr Odudu said.
NURTW national leader Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, lauded Mr Aiyedatiwa’s outstanding leadership and highlighted his leadership qualities, which have garnered strong support from the union members.
Mr Aiyedatiwa thanked the union for the endorsement, highlighting the vital role that NURTW played in the state’s economy.
Aiyedatiwa appreciated the union for ensuring smooth transportation across communities, which could not be undermined.
The Ondo governor said his administration was committed to continuing its partnership with the union, developing the state’s infrastructure further, and improving the welfare of transport workers.
“My administration is committed to ensuring that the NURTW and its members continue to thrive in a conducive and secure environment. Our drivers are the eyes on the road, witnessing firsthand what happens.
“If you notice anyone or any group attempting to disrupt the peace we currently enjoy in the state, please report them to the appropriate authorities.
“This way, we can continue to maintain peace and harmony throughout Ondo state,” the governor said.
