The leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has sounded an alarm over an impending conflict within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), warning that the Lagos chapter of the union may face a serious internal crisis in the coming months.
In a recent prophetic broadcast shared on Facebook, Ayodele disclosed that growing divisions within the NURTW could erupt into major unrest between December 2025 and February 2026. He urged state authorities to take swift preventive action to avoid disruptions in public transport and potential violence.
“The two factions of the NURTW will cause problems in December, January, and February in Lagos State,” the cleric warned, stressing the urgency for early intervention. “Warn them, warn them,” he added.
Ayodele further prophesied that the influence of the NURTW — one of Nigeria’s most powerful transport unions — is nearing its end. According to him, the organization’s dominance over road transport operations will soon be replaced by a new structure that will phase out its current mode of operation.
“This NURTW will become a thing of the past. Another system will take over, and the era of agbero dominance will fade away,” he declared confidently.
The prophecy comes amid persistent leadership struggles and factional disputes within the union, particularly in Lagos, where clashes among rival groups have often disrupted transportation and fueled political tension.
Ayodele’s revelation hints not only at a looming crisis but also at a possible reformation of Nigeria’s transport sector — one that could redefine how the nation’s roads are managed in the years ahead.
