…MC Oluomo Not Served Suspension Notice, Says Aide
Nigerians have reacted to the indefinite suspension of the Lagos Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo.
Recall that it was earlier reported that the national leadership of the union suspended MC Oluomo for insubordination, causing violence and inciting members against it.
According to the letter of suspension signed by its General Secretary, Kabiru Yau, the NURTW directed MC Oluomo to hand over all union properties in his care to the state secretary and hand over the leadership to his deputy.
The NURTW in its letter of suspension added that MC Olumo’s response to a letter of query issued to him last week was not satisfactory.
Following the development, Nigerians have now taken to social media to express their views regarding the suspension of the NURTW stalwart.
See some of the reactions below:
@onyiforlife The master of Agberos in Lagos state… He deserve it. In short NURTW should dismiss him. MC Oluomo used thugs against #EndSARS
@d_problemsolver NURTW don suspend MC Oluomo, the newly appointed ambassador of NDLEA. Now his colleagues, don suspend am, dem people wey him suppose guide😏
Whoever came up with the ambassorship idea + those who approved and applauded it, all of you no get sense.
@RowlyDaDon Growing up it was a supposed common knowledge that majority of Chelsea fans are Agberos, not all of course. Today seems to be a confirmation of that with the suspension of MC Oluomo & sanction of Chelsea FC on same day
Not sure if this is a coincidence

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, has not received any letter suspending him from his role as the transport workers’ boss in the state, his spokesman, Jimoh Buhari, has said.
Buhari stated this in a chat with our correspondent on Thursday while reacting to a viral letter by the NURTW national leadership in Abuja reportedly suspending MC Oluomo as Lagos chair.
The letter dated March 9, 2022 and signed by NURTW General Secretary, Kabiru Yau, said MC Oluomo has been suspended indefinitely for gross misconduct amongst other offences. Yau subsequently directed MC Oluomo to hand over to his deputy.
But Buhari told our correspondent on Wednesday that his principal has not received any letter to the effect of the reported suspension.
He said, “As far as we are concerned, we are not aware of the suspension because we have not received any letter from the national leadership.
“A leader of an organisation cannot be suspended on social media.
“MC Oluomo is going into a meeting at the moment and he is going to chair the meeting. He remains Lagos NURTW chair.”
