Nigerians React As Oyo Govt Bans NURTW

The newly inaugurated Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, on Friday banned the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

In a statement to newsmen, Makinde disclosed that government officials will take over motor parks in the state.

This act has drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians, with some praising the governor while others kicked against the move.

See reactions below:

Seyi Makinde's boys. The current NURTW leadership does not want to step down, Makinde's NURTW supporters will never accept defeat. For peace to reign in Ibadan, GSM had to proscribe NURTW till further notice. After settling the dispute, his boys will take over NURTW leadership.

Oyo state governor bans NURTW (popularly known as agbero).

Makinde has sense!

This is what Lagos state governor should replicate.

Seyi Makinde is making some early blunders. Too early to bring out your Queen. Play around with your knights and pawns for awhile.

1) Sack of LG Chairmen
2) Saying you won't pay minimum wage
3) Proscribing NURTW in the state.

What do i know sef.

It is obvious so many people on twitter don't know the motive behind proscribing NURTW in Oyo State by Seyi Makinde. Every government has its NURTW loyalists, and the loyalists take control of NURTW immediately their person is sworn in.
The current NURTW were Ajimobi's boys

And supported Adelabu during campaign. They even attacked Seyi Makinde's during some of his campaigns.
Another faction of NURTW supported Seyi Makinde and assisted him during his campaigns. Since Adelabu didn't win the election, the current NURTW leadership 'must' step down for

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde scrapping NURTW is still something I really cant say if it's too early or properly timed..

But one thing of which I am certain is NURTW operates like a Mafia association.

It should either be reorganised or tossed away in every state.
