National leaders of the Nigeria Union of Journalists have been urged to appoint a five-member caretaker committee to pilot the affairs of Ondo state council following its botched election on Wednesday to elect new executive officers to pilot the affairs of the union pending the time a fresh election will be conducted.
Chairmen and Secretaries of chapels in the state council made this request after their election scheduled for last Wednesday was abruptly cancelled.
According to a statement released after the meeting which was signed by nine out of eleven chapels, stated that the decision was in line with Article 5D (9c) page 19 of the NUJ constitution.
The chapels that signed were; National Orientation Agency, Nigerian Television Authority NTA, Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), Correspondents, Adaba FM, Federal Information, Local Government Information, Owena Press and Federated chapels.
It would be recalled that an Industrial court sitting in Akure last month (October) dissolved the executives of the union, led by Mr James Sowole and ordered that a fresh election be conducted within 30 days of the judgment which elapsed on Wednesday.
