Ondo State motorcyclists express sadness on union crisis
Members of the Ondo State Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle Owner and Riders Association of Nigeria, yesterday, expressed dismay over the alleged unethical practices and violation of standard practice by its leaders, due to what they said was the absence of a democratically constituted union. The group, in a statement issued by the Chairman of its board of trustees, Akinmade Rotimi, and the Coordinators of its central, northern, and southern zones, Olumorin Akinlolu, Okunola Ademola, and Alade Abdul, appealed to the state Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, to wade into the crisis so that it can also witness rapid development.
The Ondo State chapter of the union has been enmeshed in leadership crisis since March 2009. Members of the union noted that the continuation of the crisis was inimical to the orderliness and smooth operation of commercial motorcyclists in the state.They also lamented that the lingering leadership vacuum, if not urgently addressed, might affect the peaceful coexistence of the people in the state.
We are constrained to point out that the union has been administered by proxy via an undemocratic process, which is in conflict with the spirit and mood of a civilised system and government," the group said, in a communiqué issued yesterday.
