The leadership tussle within the Motorcycle Operators Union of Nigeria (MOUN) has finally been resolved as an Abuja court has confirmed Comrade Julius Oghenevwegba Bobi as the rightful National President of the union.
In a judgment that puts to rest months of internal conflict, the court ruled that Bobi remains the legally recognized leader of the union.
The decision was communicated in an official letter from Parlance Law Firm, representing Comrade Bobi, to several government entities, including the Attorney General of the Federation, the Minister of Justice, the Ministry of Labour, and the Nigerian Labour Congress.
The letter, titled “Re: Suit of Motorcycle Operators Union of Nigeria (MOUN) and 9 ORS v. Sotayo Rasak Olusola, Suit No: CV/85/2024 Post Judgment Notification,” highlighted the court’s directive for the parties to maintain the current leadership structure, reaffirming Bobi’s position.
“By this Court Order, Comrade Julius Oghenevwegba Bobi remains the National President of the Union, and no other individual has the right to claim this position. This notice serves as a reminder to guide all future correspondence regarding the union and prevent any actions that could result in Contempt of Court,” the letter stated.
The ruling underscores the court’s authority in the matter and is accompanied by a certified true copy (CTC) of the court’s order, which was distributed to relevant stakeholders to avoid confusion or non-compliance.
This decision brings closure to the leadership crisis that had threatened the unity of the union, ensuring that Bobi’s leadership is uncontested and that all further engagements with the union will be conducted under his authority.
All members and government agencies are expected to adhere strictly to the court’s judgment, which reinforces respect for the rule of law.
