PTD conference: Dafinone raises alarm over alleged threats, intimidation

One of the elders of Petroleum Tanker Drivers , branch of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers in Warri Zone, Chief Blessing Dafinone has raised alarm over threats being made against delegates for the forth-coming National Delegates’ Conference of the union to comply or face forceful exit from the union by some powers that be in the union.

As we speak, there are complaints of intimidation and victimisation of delegates and the only way to curb that will be through open secret ballot, without fear or favor. They should please not send us back to the trenches.” The Urhobo-born trade unionist who is also a politician told journalists at Radisson hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, recently, that: “The judiciary has given the PTD Branch of NUPENG a fresh opportunity to reelect its new national executives that will reflect the wishes and support of the majority without rancor and this has been scheduled for Wednesday, July 3, 2024. Therefore, no element within PTD or NUPENG must be allowed to truncate this process.

NUPENG owes all its branches including PTD the duty of conducting a hitch-free election, and therefore, if anything goes wrong, be it violence orchestrated by the thugs, or low voters’ turn out, it will amount to leadership failure on their part which will be unacceptable.
