A political support group, Transporters for Tinubu 2027, has visited the leadership of the Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria (MWUN) at its headquarters in Lagos as part of efforts to seek collaboration ahead of the 2027 political season.
The delegation was received by the President-General of the union, Comrade Bunu, at the union’s secretariat located at 119, Osho Drive, Olodi-Apapa.
According to the group, the visit was aimed at promoting structured collaboration between government, transport operators and private parastatals, while also encouraging grassroots participation in government reforms focused on improving national mobility, economic growth and sectoral development.
The group said the engagement was also intended to acquaint the union’s leadership with the vision, structure and programmes of the Transporters for Tinubu 2027 initiative.
Members of the support group noted that they recognise the Maritime Workers’ Union of Nigeria as one of the frontline labour organisations in the country and in Africa, particularly for its role in water transportation. They added that the union represents an important platform that could further project the objectives of the Tinubu 2027 project.
Responding, Comrade Bunu thanked the organisers for recognising the union, noting that the MWUN would always support initiatives that promote progress, unity and development in the country.
He, however, reminded the visitors that the union remains non-partisan, while maintaining its commitment to good governance.
The maritime labour leader also stated that the union was not opposed to strategic initiatives capable of moving the country forward.
