Mr. Joseph Adaraniwon, the National Publicity Secretary of the Professional E-hailing Drivers and Private-owner Association of Nigeria, announced their expulsion in a statement.
Oluwaseun Shonuga and Islamiat Ajani were ousted as national president and national secretary, respectively, according to the statement, for suspected conspiracies and activities against the association's general objectives and interests.
Shonuga, on the other hand, quickly responded by telling the Nigerian News Agency that he was still the national president of PEDPAN.
Shonuga went on to say that those behind his expulsion were suspended members who desired authority no matter what it took.
“I remain National president of PEDPAN, those that are now claiming that they are national officers of PEDPAN do not have certificates of office,” he said.
Shonuga said that those behind his character assassination would soon face full wrath of law.
“These people have been threatening me and I have been attacked on two different occasions on this issue.
“They are the people that want to get popularity by destroying my good work.
“Those people have been disciplined and suspended indefinitely for not following the rule of engagement of our association,” he said.
Shonuga noted that only members that involved in anti-union activities were deleted from union’s social media platform after due consultation, facts and evidence of their anti- union actions.
Speaking on the matter, Lagos State Chairman, Trade Union Congress, Mr. Gbenga Ekundayo, said that TUC had been working towards resolving the ongoing leadership crisis in PEDPAN.
“We have advised them to set their structures properly and allow that structure to guide the union. We came up with 17 points MOU to address the issue and all the parties involved agreed to it.
“We are surprised to hear that the union is still experiencing some internal leadership issues.
“We have notified our national body and currently awaiting the directive from them, so as to find lasting solutions to the crisis,” he said.
