MC Oluomo Withdraws From NURTW National Body Following Indefinite Suspension

By Akinwale Kasali

Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has distanced himself from the National Body of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, led by Tajudeen Baruwa, over his indefinite suspension by the body for insubordination,  abuse of fundamental human rights and other offences.

Last week, the NURTW National Body had queried MC Oluomo for his high handedness, disrespect for constituted authority and insubordination, threatening to suspend him.

He has been accused of inciting members against the National Leadership and fronting for Tricycle Operators in Lagos.

Responding to the query issued to him, MC  Oluomo  had stated that he faithfully complied with the laws guiding the Union’s operations and vowed never to do anything that will tarnish the image of the Union nor bring the Union back to the inglorious position of being branded as thugs and disturbers of the public peace in Lagos.

On allegation of using thugs to forcefully take over branches of his perceived enemies, Oluomo  said nothing of such ever happened since he took over.  Oluomo said that he involves himself in promotion of peace and prevention of forceful takeover of branches.

“One of the major achievements of this present executive under my leadership in Lagos State is the promotion of peace and prevention of forceful takeover of branches. If any of the Zonal Chairmen to whom the branches belong, however, bring the issue to our attention, same shall be investigated openly and the cause/reason determined,” he said.

It, however, came as surprise when the National Body decided to suspend him indefinitely, prompting him to withdraw his allegiance to the Union.

This was made known in a viral video that is currently trending where MC Oluomo openly withdrew from the National Union.
