By Ayodele Oluwafemi
The Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers, Lagos State chapter, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo has refuted the insinuations that he is planning to contest for elective position in 2023.
MC Oluomo stated that he was trained as a transporter, noting that any of his children could contest for the position in future but not him.
He made this known, during an interview with broadcaster, Funmi Iyanda, on Instagram.
“I trained as a transporter and I give God the glory that I have started attaining a peak in my career as the Chairman of the NURTW in Lagos State.
“The constitution allows anyone eligible to run for a public office. My child can come out tomorrow to contest an elective post. But count me out of it, whether for House of Representatives, Senate or as a Governor. I am, however, in full support of all politicians in the state,” he said in Yoruba Language.
MC Oluomo refuted claims that the parks in Lagos are not following the guidelines stated by Nigeria Center for Disease Control, NCDC,
“All parks in Lagos have COVID-19 monitoring team and they are well aware of the state government’s regulations regarding the pandemic. We also informed our members of the sitting arrangement to maintain social distancing.
“So far, our task force has reported compliance by commercial vehicle operators in the state but the only problem is that drivers leave our parks with two passengers on each seat but they bring more commuters onboard on their way to their destinations.
“We also had a meeting with the drivers and notified them of our decision to reduce ticket fees because they now carry fewer passengers than before. We told them not to make life difficult for the public by increasing transport fares as a result of the new transport guidelines of the state government,” he said.
However, some Twitter users did not believe his claim that he was not a governorship aspirant as they claimed that he was being positioned to become governor in years to come.
Others insisted that invitations to political and social talk shows were arrangements to launder what they described as bad reputation in public domain.
