 MC Oluomo Backs Down On Presidential Ambition

. Begs To Remain Lagos NURTW Boss

Former Chairman of Lagos State National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Musiliu Akinsanya (a.k.a MC Oluomo) may have backed down in his ambition to become the National President of the union.

This is coming as he is reportedly making  surreptious moves to return to the saddle as the Lagos State Chairman of the union.

It would be recalled that Oluomo was once suspended indefinitely by the national secretariat of the union for flouting directives from the national body. Instead of answering the query issued to him, Oluomo stormed out of NURTW alongside members of the Lagos State Executives to join Lagos State Parks and Garages Management.

Interestingly, he showed up at the National Congress of the union held in Abuja last year to support the candidature of former Lagos NURTW Boss, Tajudeen Agbede.

However, a National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja affirmed Tajudeen Baruwa as the re-elected president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers.

This was just as the court sacked the Tajudeen Agbede-led Caretaker Committee of the NURTW.

While delivering her judgment on the leadership crisis rocking the union, Justice O. O. Oyewumi held that the delegates’ conference across the six zonal councils held on May 24, 2023, where Baruwa emerged as President for a second term in office was valid.

The presiding judge also restrained the former President of the Union, Najeem Yasin, who was the Board of Trustees chairman, from interfering in the day-to-day running of union affairs.

The judgement has now become a subject of appeal at the Appeal Court in Abuja. 

Shockingly, MC Oluomo emerged on the scene to bid for the position of the National President backing on pervasive and subterfuge antics to achieve his aim. He is said to be banking on his closeness to Seyi Tinubu to achieve his aim.

But it does appear Oluomo is not making any headway in his inordinate ambition and has therefore decided to restrategize by dropping his presidential ambition to align with the egg heads at the national secretariat.

Sources close to him informed that he has recently made overtures to Tajudeen Baruwa on two occasions, pleading to be considered for a second tenure as Chairman of Lagos State branch of the union. This grand plot according to dependable sources is precipitated on the fact that the current chairman, Mustapha Adekunle (a.k.a Sego) is yet to be officially sworn-in as Chairman of Lagos branch of the union as prescribed by the constitution of the union.

Interestingly, this plot has fallen through as Baruwa reportedly told Oluomo and his emissaries he does not want to be part of such plan.

The present situation has therefore left the once influential Lagos big boy in utter limbo as he faced fire financial strait.
