Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya has reaffirmed his position as the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), dismissing claims of a leadership takeover by Tajudeen Baruwa.
The development follows reports that Baruwa had assumed control of the union’s national secretariat in Abuja, citing court judgments he believes validate his leadership.
Reacting in a statement shared via his Instagram page, Akinsanya described the incident as a “forceful takeover,” insisting that the legal process surrounding the dispute is still ongoing and has not been concluded.
He argued that the court decision referenced by Baruwa does not apply to him, as he was not directly involved in the case, adding that the matter remains before the court.
“The National President wishes to intimate members of the union and the general public that he was not a defendant in the purported judgment. The judgment has been appealed, and a stay of execution has been duly entered,” the statement read.
Akinsanya further disclosed that he has refrained from engaging Baruwa or any other party due to the pending litigation, noting that security agencies are closely monitoring the situation.
“He has not engaged with Mr Baruwa or any individual, aware that cases are pending in court. The situation is under the control of security agencies,” he added.
Reaffirming his claim to the leadership of the union, Akinsanya urged members nationwide to remain calm and avoid actions that could escalate tensions across motor parks, as the legal battle continues.
