The leadership crisis that had for long rattled the Oyo State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) got seemingly intractable when the Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala government lost confidence in the chairman of the union and staunch supporter of his government then, Alhaji Lateef Akinsola a.k.a. Tokyo.
Akinsola, who played an active role in the impeachment of Senator Rashidi Ladoja and election of Alao-Akala as governor in 2007 poll, lost out when the governor discovered that he was allegedly wining and dining with his perceived enemies. That marked the beginning of bitterness in the politics of NURTW in the state.
Graveyard peace had descended on the union after the removal of its former chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Tawa, in connivance with the late People's Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart, Chief Lamidi Adedibu. Tawa, who had sympathy for Ladoja naturally did not support the plan to remove the former governor (Ladoja).
