Chairman of Lagos State council of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Musiliu Akinsanya aka MC Oluomo has withdrawn from the national body following his suspension.
The national body had announced MC Oluomo’s suspension in a letter dated March 9, 2022, accusing him of insubordination, misconduct and incitement of violence.
MC Oluomo said on Thursday after a meeting at the state secretariat in Agege that all attempts to have an amicable resolution to the crisis with the national body have failed.
“Being law-abiding and responsible citizens, we have decided to explore all avenues for peace in the interest of all, we will not support any action that can threaten the peace that we cherish so much in Lagos State,” the union leader said.
“Therefore, I, Comrade Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, on behalf of the State Administrative Council (SAC), State Executive Council (SEC) members and the entire union rank and file members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State Council with over 200 Branches and Zones hereby resolve to immediate withdraw of our membership and operation from the National body of NURTW for peace to reign in Lagos State and to write the Lagos State Governor, Lagos State Ministry of Transportation (MOT) and other relevant agencies about our decision.”
MC Oluomo called on Lagos State Government to take over the running of the affairs of the union with the constitution of a park management committee for motor garages and parks in the state, thereby ensuring peace and tranquillity, pending the determination of the matter in the interest of the good people of Lagos State.
