Uduaghan needs prayer – NURTW chair

The National Union of Road Transport Workers has called on the people of Delta State to pray for the state Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan.
The NURTW said Uduaghan deserves the prayer because not only has he been doing well but also requires support to perform better.
The union’s Chairman in the state, Comrade Ifeanyi Obi, said the governor deserves the full support of the people he is leading to enable him succeed.
Obi described the governor as a detribalized Deltan and a good leader who has worked on people-oriented projects across the three senatorial districts of the state.
He said him to succeed, the people of the state should support and pray for him.
He said: “We need to pray for our governor.
“He is doing very well in every part of the state and for us at the National Union of Road Transport Workers, we are happy with him.
“He has helped us a lot and we shall continue to support his administration.”
Obi used the opportunity to urge members of the union to remain law abiding in line with the peace and security agenda of the governor, shunning any action that is capable of causing the breach of peace.
Obi said: “Our members are carrying out their duties peacefully, but we have observed that there are also few of them that are not working genuinely in the interest of our union.
“We have asked them to retrace their steps and ensure that they are not engaged in any negative action because we are not going to protect any of our members who flouts the law.”
Obi said several attempts have been made to blackmail him as the state chairman of the union, how much more an executive governor of a state such as Delta, adding: “Some people have circulated text messages that is not favourable using my name.
“Some have done certain things that are not also too good using my name but that is the burden of leadership.
“We are entrenching a new union where the members believe in the rule of law and obey the constitution.
“It is not easy, but we thank God that we are succeeding.”
Obi urged Uduaghan to be focused on programmes geared at developing the state.
