Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State council Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo has been suspended indefinitely over alleged misconduct and insubordination to the national body.
A letter dated March 9, 2022, signed by the general secretary of the NURTW Kabiru Yau also accused MC Oluomo of inciting violence.
“This is to convey to you that in line with Article 42 section 5, subsection I, II, III, IV, V, and VIII of the union’s constitution, you have been placed on indefinite suspension from office as State Chairman of Lagos State Council of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) with effect from March 9, 2021,” the letter said.
“Your suspension is sequel to sustained acts of insubordination and gross misconduct coupled with your clandestine plans to instigate crisis and unleash mayhem on any branch or branches of the union in Lagos state that refuses to obey your order or instructions not to accept directives from the national headquarters of the union.”
The union accused MC Oluomo of planning to attack branches that may disobey his orders and ultimately disrupt public peace and order in Lagos.
The letter noted that MC Oluomo’s response to the national body’s first query issued on February 25, 2022, was “unsatisfactory” while he “bluntly neglected/refused to respond to the second query” issued on March 3, 2022.
“In view of your suspension, you are hereby directed to hand over the mantle of leadership of the Lagos State Council to the state deputy chairman and also surrender all union properties in your possession to the state secretary of the union forthwith,” it said.
