I Remain NURTW President,” MC Oluomo Declares, Urges Calm Among Members
Tension within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) appears to be easing following a firm declaration by its embattled leader, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo.
In a recent statement that has sparked conversations across the transport sector, MC Oluomo reaffirmed his position as the legitimate President of the union, urging members nationwide to remain calm and avoid actions that could escalate the situation.
Leadership Dispute and Rising Concerns
The declaration comes amid growing reports of internal disagreements and factional tensions within the NURTW. These developments have raised concerns among members and stakeholders, particularly given the union’s influence across motor parks and transport operations in Nigeria.
While details of the dispute remain sketchy, the situation has led to uncertainty among members, with some questioning the current leadership structure of the union.
MC Oluomo Calls for Unity
Addressing supporters and union members, MC Oluomo emphasized the need for unity and discipline.
He reassured them that leadership issues would be resolved through appropriate channels, urging members not to be swayed by rumors or misinformation.
“I remain the President,” he reportedly stated, stressing that due process and the rule of law would guide any decisions regarding the union’s leadership.
Impact on Transport Activities
The NURTW plays a critical role in regulating road transport activities across Nigeria, especially in major cities like Lagos. Any instability within the union could potentially disrupt operations, affect commuters, and create wider economic implications.
However, MC Oluomo’s call for calm appears aimed at preventing such disruptions and maintaining order across motor parks.
What This Means Going Forward
Observers say the coming days will be crucial in determining how the situation unfolds. Whether through internal reconciliation or external intervention, stakeholders are watching closely to see how the leadership question will be resolved.
For now, MC Oluomo’s message is clear: maintain peace, stay united, and allow due process to take its course.
