•Says MC Oluomo No Longer NURTW Member
The Southwest Zonal Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Olalekan Folorunsho, aka Lekan Salami, has urged the Federal Government to stop condoning gangsterism and call the embattled National President of the Union, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, to order.
This was as he said MC Oluomo is no longer a member of the NURTW and is not ineligible to hold any position within the union.
In a statement, Salami explained that MC Oluomo ceased to be a member of the NURTW in 2022 after he openly tore his Union identity card.
Osun Defender reported that MC Oluomo had disclosed his exit from the Union after he was issued a query from the national leadership.
“Our Constitution stipulates that a returning member must submit a formal application to the National leadership, which will be considered.

“If accepted, the member must spend at least two years before being eligible to seek any office, starting from the unit chairman level. None of these steps have been followed by MC Oluomo,” Salami said.
Salami also reaffirmed the leadership of Baruwa, stressing that his tenure was valid and has been upheld by the Appeal Court.
“The NURTW in Osun State remains under the leadership of Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa. The government must not condone gangsterism, and MC Oluomo should be called to order,” he added.
