The in-fighting within the ranks of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has culminated in the suspension of its Lagos chapter’s Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo, IgbereTV reports.
The suspension order was issued via a letter dated March 9, 2022 signed by the General Secretary for the national body, Kabiru Yau, who promised to ensure that the NURTW constitution remains sacrosanct and adhered to by members across the country.
Oluomo’s suspension was over allegations of misconduct, insubordination, and inciting members of the state chapter against the apex body.
The development may be connected to a protest staged by MC Oluomo’s supporters during which they accused the union at the national level of unnecessarily interfering in the union’s affairs in the state.
Subsequently, the National body of the NURTW mandated MC Oluomo to immediately hand over the mantle of leadership to his deputy chairman and release all property belonging to the transport body in his possession to the State Secretary, in a bid to avoid any leadership vacuum in the state
