In a surprising turn of events, chaos erupted this morning at the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) as employees vehemently rejected Tola Odeyemi, the recently appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Post Master General of NIPOST by President Bola Tinubu.
This is according to a report by DailyPost.
Recall that President Tinubu’s spokesperson, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, announced last week that some changes were made in the leadership of communication agencies, including NIPOST.
Reports, however, emerged shortly after the announcement claiming that the sacked Post Master-General, Adeyemi Adepoju, had been reinstated.
In a viral video, Adepoju was seen addressing some workers who claimed Tinubu had reappointed him.
Subsequently, on Monday morning, NIPOST workers shut down the head office of the service in Abuja, protesting against Odeyemi’s appointment.
The protesting workers denied entry to the newly appointed NIPOST CEO, saying her appointment was against their wish.
The workers, who said they preferred Adepoju, chanted solidarity songs and carried placards.
