He noted that the groups were the causes of several crisis within the
body, especially the pre-election face-off which according to him, was
tactfully controlled before it could snowball into a full crisis.
He warned that in order to avoid future crisis, all members of the Union
must remain obedient to the constitution guiding the MWUN and must operate by
it alone.
"I want to say that all associations and forums inside the port
have been banned as from today, our constitution in the union is the highest
organ that we know, I don't know anything about Alliance Maritime Forum, Oyo
Forum, Ekiti Forum, Bakare Forum and so on, they are not enshrined in our
constitution, so all these forums have been banned so that we would be able to
concentrate and move the union forward", he declared.
Adeyanju noted that the era of allowing thugs at Nigerian ports was
successfully stamped out of the port by the union in the past eight years and
that all the dock workers are now gainfully employed by terminal operators.
He expressed appreciation to the immediate past President General of the
union, Comrade Tony Nted, assuring that the union would never derail from the
standards he has laid.
