Allegations and counter-allegations have continued to fuel the crisis rocking the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Oyo state chapter. The Oyo NULGE crisis dates back to November 6, 2019, when the biennial delegates’ conference convened in Saki, to elect new members of the state executive council of the union, turned out inconclusive. At that aborted election, Mr Hakeem Oyewo, Mr Abass Bogunmbe and Mrs Romoke Opabunmi, all Ibadan indigenes, were candidates for the position of President. “On the alleged imposition of a candidate, I am no longer a member of NULGE, I vacated the seat of NULGE Presidency more than two months ago. The wait for the caretaker committee, led by Mr Rufus Babalola, to announce new date and venue for the Oyo NULGE election is now two months old.
