Workers of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) have shut
down the head office of the service in Abuja, protesting the appointment of
Tola Odeyemi as Chief Executive Officer/Postmaster-General.
Ajuri Ngelale, a Presidential spokesman, announced last week
that President Bola Tinubu changed the leadership of communication agencies,
including NIPOST.
However, moments after the news of Odeyemi’s appointment
broke, there were reports that Adeyemi Adepoju, the sacked Postmaster-General,
had been reinstated.
In a viral video, Adepoju was seen addressing some workers
who claimed Tinubu had reappointed him.
Earlier in a statement by NIPOST on Friday, Adepoju alleged
that President Bola Ahmed reappointed him as Postmaster General of the Federation
and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Postal Service, NIPOST.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned Rt. Honourable
Adeyemi Sunday Adepoju as the Postmaster General of the Federation and Chief
Executive Officer of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), citing Adepoju’s
sterling leadership and excellent performance during his stay in office as the
reason for his reinstatement”, a statement from NIPOST reads.
But on Monday, the protesting workers denied entry to the
newly appointed NIPOST CEO, saying her appointment was against their wish.
