MC Oluomo Expelled From NURTW Over Protocol Breach
MC Oluomo, former
NURTW Lagos State chairman, was declared ineligible for membership by the South-west
Zonal Chairman, Olalekan Salami. The decision follows a breach of NURTW
protocols, including tearing his union ID and failing to submit a rejoining
application. The court upheld Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa’s leadership.
The controversy surrounding Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, took a new turn this week as the Southwest Zonal Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Olalekan Salami, announced that Oluomo is no longer a member of the union.
The statement, made on November 19, clarifies
that MC Oluomo forfeited his membership in 2022 after he publicly tore up his
union identity card in defiance of a disciplinary query from the national
leadership.
According to the rules, a
returning member must submit a formal application for approval and spend at
least two years at the grassroots level before being eligible for any office.
MC Oluomo reportedly failed to follow these protocols, making him ineligible to
hold any position within the union.
Salami also reaffirmed the leadership of Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa, whose
presidency was recently upheld by the Appeal Court. The court's decision has
further intensified the ongoing power struggle within the NURTW, with factions
still contesting Baruwa’s authority.
Salami warned that the government must recognize the legitimate leadership and
resist condoning any acts of disorder, especially gangsterism, which has
plagued the union in recent years.
