ANLCA Members Fighting Tony Nwabunike’s Executive Are ‘Inconsequentials’, Says NAGAFF
‘
We affirm our support for ANLCA executive’
By Our Reporter
The National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) Tuesday described those working against the executive of Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) led by Iju Tony Nwabunike as simply ‘inconsequentials’.
NAGAFF in a statement signed by the Publicity Secretary, Mr Clement Iwegbuna, was reacting to a press conference held by some aggrieved members of ANLCA who accused Nwabunike-led executive of turning the association into an arm of NAGAFF.
The statement said it was clear that those behind such claims do not understand the meaning of collaboration between two different associations.
NAGAFF in the statement recalled that it had always had working relationship with ANLCA under different leaders.
The statement identified the leaders of ANLCA who had visited NAGAFF headquarters as late Alhaji SanniShittu, Senator Sanni Kamba, Alhaji Olayiwola Shittu, Hon Tony Iju, Prince Taiye Oyeniyi, Prince Ozo Chukwurah, Dr Kayode Farinto, Dr Obicee Okonkwo, Barr Ada Akpunonu, Chief Alloy Agu, High Chief OyeAriyo, among others.
The statement added that it was unfortunate that the ANLCA members do not value the political advantage and leadership qualities that they have in the person of Iju Nwabunbike.
Part of the statement reads, “And so, the little minds in ANLCA should gain momentum of joining the process of a new NIGERIA of our dreams. The illegal Press Conference of some disgruntled members of ANLCA were noted but it is our hope that NECOM of ANLCA should sustain and consolidate the success so far made for the peace and progress of freight forwarding profession in Nigeria.
“We shall continue to pray for the peace of our sister Associations and the wisdom of God always. It is most unfortunate that some of ANLCA members do not realise the political advantage of Hon Tony IjuNwabunike to the Association”.
The association said it will continue to support the Nwabunike led executive for the great service being offered to the freight forwarding family despite the blackmail by some ‘inconsequentials’ of ANLCA.
“Indeed, we affirm to ANLCA as a sister Association under the leadership of Hon Tony Iju and his National Executive Committee (NECOM) members that we stand side by side with them to serve the freight forwarding family in Nigeria. And for the avoidance of doubt, it is most unfortunate that some inconsequentials in ANLCA have been engaged in the blackmail of respected personalities but the fact remains that the real wise and great men of ANLCA have been doing great things in fostering good friendship and brotherhood with other sisters associations|”.
The association called on its members not to join issues with the aggrieved members of ANLCA, saying that doing so would make them relevant.
”The NAGAFF High Command hereby directs that no officer of NAGAFF should join issues in the media against any individual member of ANLCA because that is simply conferring underserved popularity on the inconsequentials. For us, we shall continue to work in harmony and collaboration with all our sister Associations for the advancement of freight forwarding profession in Nigeria.
“All NAGAFF members must realise that the peace in NAGAFF is somehow breading jealousy which is human with human behavior. Indeed, the inconsequentials in ANLCA are not exception|”.
