‘MC Oluomo Is Not A Member Of Our Union, Ineligible To Hold Any Post’- Lekan Salami

The Southwest Zonal Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Olalekan Folorunsho aka Lekan Salami, has declared that Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo is no more a member of the union.

Folorunsho recalled that MC Oluomo seized to be the member of the Union since year 2022 when he allegedly tore the identity card of the NURTW.

According to him, MC Oluomo allegedly left the party because he was queried by the national leadership, saying up till now, they didn’t have record of him returning to their folds.

He, however, cautioned a former Secretary of the Union, Alhaji Moshood Ajao to stop parading himself as a leader of the NURTW in Osun State.

Folorunsho said the constitution of their union only recognizes the former Chairmen of the Union in states as leaders and in the case of Osun State.

“It has been brought to my attention that a former Secretary of our Union, the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Alhaji Moshood Ajao has been parading himself as a leader of the NURTW in Osun State.

“I wish to state that Alhaji Ajao has no right to such position like Union Leader as he is a career officer who has retired and has been paid his entitlements.

“The Constitution of our Union only recognizes the former Chairmen of the Union in states as leaders and in the case of Osun State, only two persons have such privileges – myself and Alhaji Nasiru Komolafe – the two surviving Chairmen of the Union. I want to warn Alhaji Ajao to desist from such act as it is tantamount to impersonation.

“Let me state here that MC Oluomo is not a member of our Union. The whole world would recall that MC Oluomo in 2022 tore the identity card of the NURTW when he said he was leaving the Union. He left because he was queried by the national leadership and till today, we don’t have record of him returning to our folds.

“Our Constitution stipulates that a returning member will write officially and his letter will be considered by the National leadership. If the consideration favours him, he’ll at least spend two years before seeking any office. Infact, such a person will start from the unit chairman and move through the ranks. This has not been done by him.

“It is so sad that people like Chief Omotayo Falope aka Oloforo who was present at the election of Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa in his home State could just jump the ship and start working against the Union. The election of Baruwa was held in Ekiti and Oloforo and his co-travellers such as Mustapha Ismail aka Yaro Ade, the Ogun State factional Chairman were part of the elections of Baruwa in Ekiti. I dare them to deny this. We have pictorial and video evidence available for them.

“More so, the kangaroo elections lacks legitimacy three southwestern States were not represented. Osun, Oyo and Lagos, where MC Oluomo came from were not represented. Ogun has factions and the other faction was not part of the process. Doesn’t that show unacceptability?

“On Baruwa, the Constitution is clear. Baruwa’s tenure is still on and the Appeal Court has affirmed that. The NURTW in Osun State remains with the leadership of Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa.

“Finally, I want to call on the Federal Government to call MC Oluomo to order. I believe the government will never be part of this gangsterism that’s ongoing. The sanctity of the judiciary must be respected on this matter”.
