NAN recalls that veteran journalist and former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, had called on the NGE to intervene in the crisis, ahead of its conference scheduled to hold in a few weeks.
According to the NGE President: “As a responsible organisation, what I immediately did, since the charge had been given, was to call the Secretary, who told me he was aware of it.
“So, we will set up a team to investigate, then that will form how we will intervene for the crisis not to escalate more than this.
“Personally, I didn’t know that the crisis was much.
“I thought the election will come up this month.
“So, the secretary now informed me that the crisis was going on in Abuja and all that, but hopefully I will set up a team.
“We will have to look at it because we cannot afford a crisis in an organisation like the NUJ.”
