The Osun State Park Management Committee has distanced itself from a report stating that the Union members will work against Governor Ademola Adeleke in 2026.
Comrade Wakeel Alowonle, the Chairman of the PMS said the statement by Comrade Kazeem Oyewale, the acting Chairman of the National Union of Road Workers, was driven by personal interests.
The statement reads,
Our attention has been drawn to recent statements made by a few disgruntled elements within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Osun chapter, claiming that the union is preparing to vote against Governor Ademola Adeleke in 2026.
We wish to categorically reject these baseless remarks, which do not represent the position of the majority of NURTW members or the people of Osun State.
It is important to emphasize that the NURTW, as a reputable non-partisan union, is committed to the welfare of its members, not political involvement. Governor Adeleke’s administration introduced the Park Management Committee (PMC) to reform and improve the transport sector for the benefit of all stakeholders. The majority of NURTW members are fully committed to this initiative, recognizing that it promotes professionalism, orderliness, and better working conditions within the transport system.
The claims of a purported Osun Acting NURTW chairman, Alhaji Kazeem Oyewale, who spoke during the Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting at the Owa Obokun palace hall, Ilesa on Thursday is nothing more than the expressions of frustration from those unwilling to acknowledge the sweeping progress being made under Governor Adeleke’s administration. These elements are driven by personal interests rather than the collective good of the people.
Governor Adeleke has consistently prioritized the welfare of Osun workers and pensioners, ensuring timely payment of salaries, pensions, and gratuities. His administration’s infrastructure development, from roads to schools, healthcare to agriculture, has made significant impacts, further solidifying Osun’s path to sustainable growth. These achievements speak to a government that is focused on delivering people-oriented governance.
The good people of Osun including members of the transport sector are fully aware of these positive developments, and will continue to stand firmly behind Governor Adeleke’s leadership. The progress being made is tangible, and we are confident that the people will again vote for him in 2026 to ensure the continuity of these transformative policies and initiatives.
We urge the public to disregard the divisive rhetoric from a minority of disgruntled voices. The people of Osun are enjoying the benefits of good governance, and no distraction will derail their commitment to supporting Governor Ademola Adeleke’s re-election.
