Motorcycle Operators Union Of Nigeria Ogun State Chapter Raises Alarm Over Self-Proclaimed Chairman in Ogun

 

The Motorcycle Operators Union of Nigeria (MOUN) has disowned one Salaudeen Amoo, who claims to be the chairman of the union in Ogun State, and seeking approval from the state government to allow him operate, citing revenue generation as a goal.

Amoo had claimed that the union had been registered with the Federal Ministry of Employment and Labour and obtained the Certificate of Registration under the Trade Union Act, urging the governor to grant MOUN the opportunity to operate in the state.

Reacting, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the National President of MOUN, Femi Akinlawon,has described Amoo as an "illegal and unrecognized" individual 

Akinlawon stated that MOUN leadership does not recognize Amoo and that the union is already operational in the state as necessary documents had been sent to the appropriate quarters a long time ago.

The SSA stated that the MOUN is recognized by the Ogun State House of Assembly and has given approval to one of the Okada Revenue agents in the state as an affiliate of the Union to carry out its (MOUN) activities  in the state. 

Akinlawon stressed that the only union approved by the state to generate revenue are ACOMORAN, ROMO and AMORAN, adding that ROMO is already in affiliation with MOUN. 

“The MOUN leadership at the National headquarters in Abuja will vehemently stand against any attempts to create factions or undermine its authority, so Amoo claiming to be MOUN State Chairman in Ogun state is a counterfeit and unrecognised by the National body, apart from the recognised affiliated Okada Revenue agent recognised by Ogun State House Of Assembly”.

Akinlawon, however, urged the state government to ignore Amoo and his cohorts.

Akinlawon warned motorcycle riders in the state to avoid Amoo and his activities.
