No Election Nullification for MC Oluomo: Clarifications from NURTW
In a recent development that has sparked discussions among stakeholders, Alhaji Moshood Ajao, the Southwest Coordinator of the Elders’ Forum of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), took to social media to clarify misconceptions surrounding the status of Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo. Contrary to earlier reports suggesting that an Appeal Court had nullified his election as the national president of NURTW, Ajao affirmed that such claims are unfounded.
According to Ajao’s statement, MC Oluomo was elected during the Zonal Delegates Conference held in Osogbo on November 9, 2024. Importantly, he emphasized that Akinsanya was neither involved in any court proceedings related to the union nor was he a party to any appeals questioning his leadership. This clarification puts to rest swirling speculations and serves as a reassuring announcement to the union’s members and supporters.
The Appeal Court judgment referred to in numerous discussions took place in Abuja on November 8, 2024—just one day before the conference. Ajao stressed that neither the delegates nor Akinsanya were aware of this judgment when they convened to elect their leader. He noted that the decision to appoint Akinsanya as president was a strategic move aimed at fostering peace within the union. By choosing a leader who was entirely unencumbered by any disputes or legal complications, NURTW aims to stabilize its affairs moving forward.
The rise of MC Oluomo to the national presidency marks a notable moment in NURTW’s history, showcasing a commitment to unity and leadership without the baggage of past controversies. Ajao expressed confidence that this new chapter for the union will help mend any rifts and enhance cooperation among transport workers in Nigeria.
This clarification not only highlights the leadership dynamics within the NURTW but also reflects the broader context of labor relations in Nigeria—a subject of vital importance as we navigate the complexities of governance and worker representation in the country.
Stay tuned for more updates and insights on this developing story and the impact it may have on the transport sector in Nigeria.
