Edo Tipper Drivers Crisis -You Are Suspended Uhunmwangho Tell Aigbekean ,You Are In Violation Of Court Order Aigbekean Replies Uhunmwangho

Edo Tipper Drivers Association of Nigeria has warned the officials of the state government, the members of the state House of Assembly and the general public to beware of the antics of one Osaro Aigbekhan who they accused of always plotting to hijack the activities of the association.

Giving the warning was the Chairman of the association, Comrade Augustine Nosa Uhunmwangho, while addressing some members of the press in the head office of the association in Benin City on Wednesday.

Uhunmwangho stated that Aigbekhan has been given a four year suspension by the association as a result of his unbecoming behaviour of always aiming towards causing unnecessary tension cum confusion in the affairs of the association.

Aigbekhan was accused of spearheading activities not in line with the constitution of the Edo Tipper Drivers Association and in many instances canterkerous to the well being of its members. 

Reacting to a recent protest march by some persons led by Aigbekhan to the state House of Assembly making bogus allegations against the association and its executive officials, Comrade Uhunmwangho said that the protest is of no value as Aigbekhan been under a four year suspension cannot have any input in the association's activities and that most of those that joined him in the protest march are not known to the association.

Comrade Uhunmwangho refuted claims that the association is getting set to holding its elections come the 19th of November as the executive officials of the association have not yet completed their mandatory five years tenure.

The Tipper Drivers boss called the attention of the security agencies to what he called threat to his life and that of members of his family which has been circulating through phone messages and messages on the social media. He vowed that the association will resist all the illegal moves of the said Aigbekhan.

Reacting, Comrade Osaro Aigbekean, said the   falsehood that is currently being spread by the Comrade Austin Nosakhare Uhunmwangho 

is false and unwarranted.

According to him, "Austin Nosakhare Uhunmwangho

 tenure in office as the Chairman of Edo Tipper Drivers Association is due to elapse on the 19th of October, 2023 in line with the valid Constitution of the Association which allows only  Four (4) Years tenure for the Chairman of the Association and not Five (5) years."

He asked Members of the Association and the general public  to disregard the falsehood that is being paraded by Comrade Austin Nosakhare Uhunmwangho and continue to support the candidate of their choice for the next election.

 According to him ," Comrade Austin Nosakhare Uhunmwangho and his cohorts are in disobedience of a valid Court order which has clearly directed a Stay of all activities pending the hearing and determination of our Motion on Notice. Hence the purported suspension of members of the Association is of no effect and should be disregarded , as same is merely a ploy by Comrade Austin Nosakhare Uhunmwangho to oppress and continue to intimidate members who do not support his selfish Five (5) years ambition " he concluded.
