Oladiti was grossly criticized for what the Tanker Drivers described as ‘felony defamation’ on the official commissioning ceremony of the newly constructed Nationwide Secretariat of NUPENG on December 4, 2024.

In a chat with some chosen newsmen at Transcorp lodge in Abuja, Comrade Kolade Fadahunsi-Ojelabi an elder from Lagos Zone of the PTD Department of NUPENG on Saturday, December 7, 2024, stated it was excessive time Oladiti’s excesses was checked and allowed PTD to breathe and flourish. The Union chief additional famous that successive Chairmen of PTD by no means troubled their successors after their phrases lapses, including that stakeholders throughout board ought to name Oladiti and his ilk to order within the general curiosity of the Union.

Accordingto Fadahunsi-Ojelabi:

“Gents of the press, thanks for honouring my name, I realized that Otunba Salimon Akanni Oladiti who has completed his 8 or 9 years in workplace as Nationwide Chairman of Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) Department of Nigeria Union of Petroleum Pure Gasoline Employees (NUPENG) was on the rostrum on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 through the official commissioning of our newly constructed nationwide secretariat at Jibowu, in any other case referred to as NUPENG Tower, and was making some incendiary, derogatory and inflammatory feedback which can be criminally defamatory in opposition to Osesua led PTD nationwide management. He additionally went so low by saying Comrade Fortunate Osesua, Comrade Dayyabu Garga, Comrade (Chief) Peter Moudebelu (ONWA), Comrade Humble Obinna Energy, Olabisi Akinlolu and others have been preventing him whereas additionally boasting that he’ll use his final blood to battle again.

“So far as we’re involved, Comrade Osesua, who’s our nationwide chairman is a legislation abiding chief and his different nationwide executives are additionally recognized for his or her decorous and excessive ethical rectitude, they’ve disdain for disaster and discord, however are strongly resolved to work in opposition to oppression, humiliation, intimidation lack of fine welfare bundle for all PTD members all through Nigeria irrespective of whose ox is gored.

“For the aim of readability, this Union belongs to everybody and PTD will not be a private enterprise to anyone, so Oladiti and his ilk needs to be correctly guided. That is additionally a get up name to all our stakeholders within the Union to intervene and permit lasting peace to reign in PTD.

“Proper from the inception of this Department PTD, any such disaster has by no means occurred, then, our union was properly structured and arranged at its numerous organs at Unit, Zonal and Nationwide degree. Let me take us down the reminiscence lane, proper from the time of John Osai to Tijani Suberu, Osai by no means bother Suberu someday, after handing over to Tijani, Tijani completed his tenure he handed over to Timothy Ogbu, Tijani by no means troubled Timothy someday, when Timothy handed over to Oladiti, he by no means troubled him, nevertheless Oladiti who acted like a despot by no means allowed Timothy and Tijani assess to the PTD secretariat particularly Timothy. Now Oladiti has completed his 9 years  in workplace he by no means needed to let go, he nonetheless desires to be absolutely in cost, such that the union cash will proceed to come back to his private pocket, all within the title of turning into the Nationwide President of NUPENG after Williams Akporeha. Oladiti at all times prefers to have a stooge as Nationwide Chairman of PTD, somebody he can remotely management underneath his whims and caprice.

The 78 years previous commerce unionists continues, “It has grow to be crucial to let the world know that Osesua and his nationwide excos are usually not preventing Oladiti, Oladiti is the one preventing God’s ordained individuals in PTD and anybody preventing anybody ordained by God has given himself out to be destroyed by God. Oladiti stated he’ll use his final blood to battle Osesua and others so be it, he has solely began a journey of self destruction and he personally put himself underneath that curse along with his mouth, too unhealthy for him.

“All of us marvel and hold asking the query, is Oladiti nonetheless contesting for PTD nationwide championship put up? What precisely is his drawback? He served his two phrases, and right now he’s NUPENG nationwide Trustee, a signatory to NUPENG financial institution accounts, why can’t he let the hook off PTD and permit us to breathe? I’ve by no means seen any such greed, covetousness and desperation in life. This man is shameless and has misplaced each honor left in him. PTD made him, but he nonetheless desires to proceed and milk the Union and destroy the union, this can by no means occur by the ability of God Almighty. 

“It’s an enormous disgrace that Oladiti won’t enable PTD to run its affairs independently with none undue interference. As we speak all our members throughout the 4 zones within the nation have been impoverished, non of them can boast of N10,000 in every week regardless of their dedication and loyalty to the PTD, the Models, Zones and the Nationwide ranges have all been decimated and conquered by one sit-tight despot, this unfair and depraved remedy can’t be allowed to proceed, sufficient is sufficient, we want a breather in PTD, Oladiti ought to enable us to be. 

“One other factor that’s most annoying is that he has introduced in nepotism and tribalism to PTD, all he does now’s to maintain bringing his relations, and kinsmen from Ibadan and placing them in key positions in PTD, especial­ly in Lagos Zone. He’s recognized for saying PTD belongs to Yoruba individuals and has largely discriminated in opposition to different tribes. In keeping with what we have been instructed he stated he’ll hold bringing his so-called loyalists to the PTD in order that when it’s time for him to contest the NUPENG presidential election will probably be a straightforward journey for him, see how a mere mortal is considering, behaving as if he’s God.

“This is identical man who will go to church and begin telling lies on the pulpit, the reality is that he can’t deceive God, this man has constantly dedicated sacrilege and God will certainly choose him accordingly. He has completed quite a lot of evil issues to PTD, he might be utilizing the title of God as a buffer to hoodwink all people that is ridiculous and distasteful. He has failed and God will shame and expose him. Osesua is our God-ordained Nationwide Chairman as of right now and nothing can change that and we thank God for the judiciary and our legislation enforcement businesses for constantly taking part in their roles because the final of the frequent man .” Kolade Fadahunsi-Ojelabi said.
