MC Oluomo Is No Longer A Valid NURTW Member; Tinubu Should Call Him To Order—Lekan Salami
Lekan Salami Claims MC Oluomo Is No Longer a Valid NURTW Member, Urges Tinubu to Take Action”
In a recent development, Olalekan Folorunsho, better known as Lekan Salami, the Southwest Zonal Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), has called on President Bola Tinubu to take steps to rectify the behaviour of Musiliu Akinsanya, more commonly known as MC Oluomo.
According to reports, MC Oluomo has been named as the NURTW President by a specific group despite having left the union years ago.
Questions regarding Oluomo’s election have arisen following an event in Osogbo, Osun State, that has since been deemed void by the Appeal Court.
On November 8th, the court supported a ruling by the National Industrial Court from March 11, 2024, which confirmed Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa’s place as the rightful National President of the NURTW.
In a public statement, Lekan Salami expressed his concern about the internal conflicts within the union, emphatically stating that MC Oluomo was no longer a recognised member of the NURTW. It’s worth noting that Oluomo had officially left the union in 2022 and had discarded his NURTW identity card.
Salami raised queries about MC Oluomo’s legitimacy and stated that the NURTW has no records of MC Oluomo returning to the union.
The union’s constitution outlines a formal procedure for members wishing to return, which includes sending a written request to the national leadership and serving for at least two years before aspiring for any higher positions—steps Oluomo has not taken.
This issue has also brought about allegations against Alhaji Moshood Ajao, a former NURTW secretary, with claims of leadership in Osun State. Salami clarified that the union’s constitution only acknowledges former state chairmen as leaders, warning Ajao to refrain from impersonating a union leader.
Salami also pronounced the Osogbo election as illegitimate, mentioning that three key southwestern states, Osun, Oyo, and Lagos, were not represented, and factional struggles in Ogun State further marred the procedure.
He made allegations against Chief Omotayo Falope (Oloforo) and Mustapha Ismail (Yaro Ade), the Ogun State factional chairman, of betraying the union by supporting MC Oluomo.

Lekan Salami has subsequently urged the Federal Government to take action against MC Oluomo in order to uphold the rule of law and the sanctity of the judiciary. He also reiterated the union’s support for Baruwa’s leadership, citing the Appeal Court’s recent decision as a clear mandate for stability and continuity within the NURTW.
Once again, Nigerian singer Davido has made headlines for proving his status as a rich man with two luxury cars entering Nigeria: a Rolls-Royce and a Tesla Cybertruck.
The musician posted a picture of the trip on social media, his pure white Rolls Royce parked on the runway, ready for shipment.
Another photo depicted the Tesla Cybertruck being loaded into an aircraft to verify the truck’s arrival in Nigeria.
Cubana Chief Priest, another close associate and entrepreneur, also saluted the new cars with an Instagram image. He congratulated Davido on his feats, dubbed him the “GOAT,” and hinted at a festive December with new vehicles added to the singer’s collection.

Former Head of State Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd) has explained why he refused to align any political party in Nigeria.
Gowon, 90, announced on Wednesday, November 27, in Abuja while receiving the League of Northern Democrats (LND), which former Kano State governor Senator Ibrahim Shekarau leads.
The elder statesman emphasised his patriotism for Nigeria, citing his military background as a driving force for his commitment to serving the country.
“I’ve always believed in taking the best from all ideologies, be it socialism, capitalism, or others, and applying them for the greater good.
“During my time in government, we valued diverse perspectives, but decisions were always made in the interest of the people and the nation.”
The former Head of State argued that the North had to make sacrifices to alleviate fears of one region’s dominance, especially considering its size and population. He stated that the idea emerged from prolonged consultations with political leaders, chiefs, and diverse groups.
At the time, he stated widespread concern in the South about the North’s dominance, which nearly led to calls for independence from all regions—west, east, and even the North.
“If we had allowed it, what would we call ourselves today? We might have ended up with separate nations—Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, or otherwise. I hesitate to say more, as I might risk offending someone here.”
Gowon expressed sadness at the current challenges facing the North, such as the rise of groups like the Lukurawa from Mali, claiming that their activities have further exacerbated the region’s woes.

Gen. Gowon led Nigeria as a military commander for nine years, from 1966 to 1975, before being deposed by a military junta.
