A former ASCSN Chairman in Oyo State, Andrew Emelieze who spoke added that the protesters are not happy with what is happening in the union.

He said, “The protesters are not happy that the union has abandoned its responsibility to only continue to loot workers check up dues as seen in the police probe of the former secretary general of the union Comrade Alade Bashir Lawal and many other union officials who had become emergency multimillionaires.
