My Sack, NURTW Lagos Dissolution Laughable – MC Oluomo

Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (aka MC Oluomo), the embattled head of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Lagos council, has condemned the National Administrative Council’s (NAC) decision to dissolve the council executive as a futile endeavor.

The NAC’s decision, according to Akinsanya, is comical because all of the state’s union members have left the national body.

Alhaji Tajudeen Baruwa, NURTW National President, and Alhaji Kabiru Ado Ya’u, NURTW General Secretary, both signed the dissolution announcement.

Seyi Bankole, the Lagos State Council Secretary, was named the new head of NURTW in Lagos by the duo.

MC Olu Omo stated again that his previous suspension was illegal.

According to him, the dissolution has no effect because the Lagos State government has ceased the state council’s activities.

He was perplexed as to why the NURTW President was acting outside the law and hell-bent on destroying union activity in Lagos, as he had done in other states in the Southwest.

“That is part of the maladministration of the President that we talked about in our former briefings; the dissolution doesn’t make any sense. However, people must know that we do not have any problem with the national body but the President,” he told The Nation.

Akinsanya said the union members are waiting for the announcement of the Lagos State government on the appointment of park managers in the state.

“We’ll be waiting to see how the person appointed to run the affairs of the union will act. The union has already been suspended. Is the national body saying they are more powerful than the state government? Announcing the sack of people already pulled out of the national body is a joke and laughable,” he said.

Akinsanya urged members of the union in the state to remain calm.
