Osun Labour Threatens Indefinite Picketing of UBA Over Local Government Funds

Organised Labour in Osun State has issued a final ultimatum to United Bank for Africa (UBA). They warn of indefinite picketing across all UBA branches if the bank fails to comply with court orders on local government accounts. The unions say UBA ignored a DSS-facilitated agreement and continued to recognize court-sacked APC chairmen and councillors. They point to a June 15, 2026 Federal High Court ruling that invalidated tenure extensions and removed those officials’ authority over 30 local councils. They demand an immediate freeze on all transactions by the affected signatories, restoration of funds to constitutionally recognized administrations, and secure handling of allocations meant for grassroots development, salaries, allowances, and pensions. Labour calls on workers, pensioners, ministries, departments, and agencies to move their accounts to other banks until UBA honors the court judgment.
