RTEAN Crisis: Disregard Richard Aimienoho Statement… NEC
…As Association debunks expulsion of Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo
…Says, we are still in Appeal Court
By Ikhili Ebalu, Benin City
The National Executive Council (NEC) of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria has called on its members across Nigeria to disregard the statement credited to one Richard Aimienoho on the leadership crisis both at the state and National level.
The National Executive Council (NEC) of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria through the National secretary, Hon Ya’u Abubakar Kajuru said in the first instance, Richard Aimienoho and Momoh are not member of the Association in Edo State and wondered how Richard Aimienoho will descend so low to have lost his memories to have forgotten that Eriyo Osakpamwan is the founding father of RTEAN in Edo State.
While debunking that Eriyo Osakpamwan has been expelled from the union, the National secretary reminded him that the case between Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo and Musa Mohammed are still pending in the court of appeal, Abuja Division, hence none of them have the power to adjudicate on the issue concerning the leadership of the union in Edo State.
“Come to think of it, who doesn’t know Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo in Edo state as a RTEAN leader. Or it’s Richard Aimienoho and Momoh that are Godwin Obaseki boys that will be telling us the original members of RTEAN or what to do in the state?
“Sadly, Richard Aimienoho and others were the one who blackmailed Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo to Godwin Obaseki and the outgoing Governor used that to work against him and the interest of Edo state people both at the state and National level.
Anyway, as we speak with you now, the only recognized RTEAN leadership in Edo State is under Comrade Osakpamwan Eriyo control. And as such Richard Aimienoho lacks the powers to delve into Rtean matters in Edo state. more so at the National level since the matter of whom is the rightful president of the union is still pending at the appeal court in Abuja.
Also, Monday Orhue is a loyalist to the present Governor Obaseki and the governor is just abusing his power by imposing Monday Orhue on RTEAN members in Edo state. The governor has no jurisdiction over union matters. The termination of the governors tenure ends with that of Monday Orhue who is not a Union member. I will appeal to the public to disregard this imposters who claim to be leaders of RTEAN in Edo state.
“So therefore, I will like to call on our people in Edo State and Nigeria to disregard the shenanigans of Richard Aimienoho. He’s no longer a member of the union in Edo State.
The statement by the National Secretary further stated that Kabiru Mohammed and Adam Anere remained deputy vice operation,deputy president administration respectively.
