While speaking on behalf of the union, the NASU Chairman, FUTA Chapter, Mr. Bayo Aladerotohun, stated that a letter of invitation for Rules Conference issued by Mr. Adeyemi to all branches of NASU across the country as breach of constitution of the union.
According to him, the letter of invitation sent for the conference reflected the administrative unrest and ulterior motive, saying the process was in incongruent to the constitution of the union.
Comrade Aladerotohun noted that the laid down proceedings by the union constitution stated that conveyance of Rules Conference notice should have been sent out for necessary proceedings even before any election new officers of the union.

The Union communique read in parts, ”for Rules Conference to hold at all, necessary proceedings for various resolutions amendments from branches to trade groups should have been taken for the consideration at the conference.
“That the conveyance of the said conference is overdue since year 2017 as stated in the constitution which already amounted to breach of the law.
“That it is observed that this is high level of insensitivity, handedness, dereliction of duty, and failure to adhere to the union’s constitution as the union has been turned to personal property.
“That the act is a lawless and unconstitutional which should not be allowed to stand”
The union stated further that ” we reject in its entirety the direct deduction of dues through National IPPIS”
