As the November 27, 2025 election of Nigeria Union of Printing, Publishing and Paper Product Workers (NUPPPPW) of the Pointer Newspaper draws near to usher new executives that will pilot the affairs of the union, the General Manager, Delta Printing and Publishing Corporation, publisher of The Pointer Newspaper, Comrade Rosemary Nwaebuni has been accused of using her position to interfered in the election.
ZN investigation revealed that many union members of the publishing company have condemned the way and manner Comrade Rosemary Nwaebuni is plotting to see that the Head of Unit (Strategies), Mr Okonkwo Nduka who is from the same local government area with her, is installed as the next chairman of the union come November 27 election.
Information reaching ZN revealed that if the General Manager is not call to order, the publishing house under her leadership will be likely faced with troubles.
The reasons majority of members are against Rosemary Nwaebuni supporting the candidature of Okonkwo Nduka becoming the chairman,was that the union’s constitution made it clear that no management staff has the right to contest any. elective position unless he/she resigns his management position.
By virtue of the constitution provisions, Mr Okonkwo Nduka does not have the locus to participate in the election.
Allowing the head of unit, who is a management staff contesting will weaken NUPPPPW as an independent body.
The General Manager has been advised to remain neutral and allow a level play ground for the union members to elect leaders of their choice instead of using her position to manipulate the electioneering process to favour Mr Okonkwo Nduka.
Information available to ZN revealed that if a management staff is allowed to be voted as chairman, it will be difficult for the union’s Excos to negotiate with the management, issues related to workers welfare, salaries and other conditions of service that will benefit the workers.
