The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has said it’s National President remains Comrade Tommy Etim Okon.

The association in a statement issued in Lagos on Wednesday, April 19 2023, by its Secretary-General, Comrade Joshua Apebo, urged the general public to disregard the claim by  Bola-Audu Innocent that he is now the National President of the association. 

Apebo in the statement said Mr. Bola-Audu, an expelled member of the association had claimed in the social media that he is now the National President of ASCSN. 

According to the statement, “We urge our teeming members throughout the country and the general public to discountenance the misinformation and disinformation in the social media where an expelled member of the Union, one Bola-Audu Innocent is claiming to be the National President of the Association.” 

The ASCSN recalled that in 2021, Bola-Audu Innocent and three others were arraigned by a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Maitama, Abuja by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP)

They were accused of engaging in human trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable persons.

“As far as we are concerned, Bola-Audu was expelled by organs of the Association for anti-union activities and he filed a suit at the National Industrial Court (NIC) in Abuja to challenge his expulsion.

“It is, therefore, surprising that Bola-Audu Innocent is now claiming in the social media to be the National President of the Association when the matter he instituted at the NIC is being adjudicated upon by a court of competent jurisdiction,” the statement said.

It said Comrade Tommy Etim Okon will lead the Association to the next National Delegates Conference where a new National President will emerge. 

It urged members of the Association to remain calm for they know their National President. “Bola-Audu Innocent remains expelled,” It concluded.
