Members of the National Union Of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Osun State have appealed to the state governor, Ademola Adeleke to forgive their sins and return motor parks in the state to the union.
The union also sought the support of its national body in returning to its garages, months after the union was dissolved by the state government.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo on Thursday on behalf of other members, a Chieftain of the Union, Kazeem Oyewale, said they were also law-abiding indigenes and residents of the state, who needed to work to feed their families.
He advised members of the union in the state to be patient, adding that things will be back to normal soon.
“We use this medium to thank Almighty God on behalf of the Osun State Government. We want to plead with the State Governor, Ademola Adeleke to please have mercy on our union. He should forgive us of any wrong against him.
“It’s been over a year since we operated last in Osun state. Everyone present today has a family to feed, the government should please forgive and forget in any way we offend them, they should not let us die of hunger.
“We are seeking the support of our acting zonal chairman in Osun state because all the union members are suffering in the state. He should look into the Osun state situation now”, he added.
