“The leadership of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers wishes to categorically deny the allegation against Ifeanyi Ubah or any other individual, inciting the tanker drivers to cause any economic sabotage. Our responsibilities as a trade union include to promote, project and protect the job security and welfare of workers, most especially the petroleum tanker drivers in Nigeria.
“We have no further relationship with any capitalist/employer beyond the precinct of promoting, projecting and protecting the security of jobs and welfare of our members. We unequivocally support the on-going war against corruption by the current government and any capitalist/employer found culpable of stealing, diversion or embezzlement of government funds should be appropriately dealt with in accordance with the law.”
