PTD-NUPENG

Petroleum tanker drivers have rejected the July 3, 2024, election by their union, the Petroleum Tanker Drivers, a branch of the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG. This is as the National Industrial Court, on May 29, ordered PTD to conduct an all-inclusive fresh election of executives.

Lucky Osesua, Dayyabu Garga, Humble Power, and other tanker drivers disclosed this in a statement to DAILY POST on Thursday. The drivers described the election of PTD on July 3, which was held in Lagos, as illegitimate and void. Consequently, the group said it would re-approach the court to seek justice and fairness. 'We sincerely thank the judiciary for standing up and being the hope of the common man.

'The court judgement means that all members are to return to their respective unit positions as they were before the purported suspension. 'We condemn and frown at the kangaroo election and delegate's conference held in Lagos, which is the stronghold of the acclaimed 'godfather' and those who claim to own PTD. 'We are categorically stating that the election and delegate's conference should follow PTD tradition.
