Ogun NAWOJ: My sin against NUJ Chairman was my refusal to be his puppet...Chairperson.  My attention has been drawn to a decision by the executive council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Ogun State, led by Comrade Wale Olanrewaju, to suspend me as the Chairperson of NAWOJ in the state and my Financial Secretary, Mrs Charity James, over an allegation of financial misconduct.
