Judiciary workers in Osun State have been directed by the national body of the Union to stop the ongoing strike in the state.
JUSUN national, said the body has never directed any member to protest amidst the ongoing tussle between the Osun State Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Adepele Ojo, and the state government.
It said under no guise should any of its members participate in any “illegal picketing, protest or job boycotting whatsoever.”
This was disclosed in a circular signed by the Deputy President, Emmanuel Abioye (for the president), a copy of which was made available to newsmen.
The letter read in parts, “Our attention has been drawn to the unfortunate incidence of unrest currently permeating the Osun State Judiciary as a result of the activity of some unscrupulous elements causing confusion in the name of the union in the Osun State Judiciary and we hereby state as follows:
“Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria as a responsible union has never and will never take any perceived or real partisan position in all its activities with individuals or organisations.
“Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria has never directed or approved that any of its members should proceed on any protest or picketing activity in Osun State Judiciary or any other state to settle any perceived or real political scores.”
The communique read further, “Consequently upon the above-highlighted position, the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria hereby dissociates itself from any action taken so far by any set of people whatsoever under whatever guise and the national secretariat views such action as a calculated attempt by some set of people to play cheap political games with the intent to blackmail the union and tarnish our good image and good reputation built over the years.”
In conclusion, the deputy president stated, “We, thereby, warn that under no guise should any of our members participate in any illegal picketing, protest or job boycotting whatsoever.”
