There is an ongoing leadership tussle at the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) following the appointment of new Chief Executive Officer, CEO by President Bola Tinubu
NIPOST staff on Monday have shut down the head office of the service in Abuja, protesting against the appointment of Tola Odeyemi as Chief Executive Officer/Post Master General.
DAILY GIST reported that Tinubu in a statement by his spokesperson, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, had announced changes in the leadership of communication agencies, including NIPOST.
However, moments after the news of Odeyemi’s appointment, there were reports that Adeyemi Adepoju, the sacked Post Master-General had been reinstated.
In a viral video, Adepoju was seen addressing some workers who claimed Tinubu had reappointed him.
On Monday, 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 wielded placards.
