Politics / More Trouble For MC Oluomo As Agbede Makes Grievous Allegations Against Him by lekanolas: 10:37am On Jan 03
Former Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos State, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (MC Oluomo), may have more troubles coming his way as his predecessor in office, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede has made serious allegations against him.

Agbede has accused Oluomo of lying to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos and wishing him (Agbede) dead.


Agbede, who was the Chairman of the defunct National Caretaker Committee of the union, was reacting to the viral news that he is bedridden and suffering from stroke.

News of Agbede being paralysed and afflicted with stroke spread on social media on Monday, just after Oluomo announced his decision to step down as Chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the union.

Oluomo had told his teeming supporters that he was moving to Abuja to take up the position of National President of the union.

Oluomo was said to have told Sanwo Olu during a meeting with union members on Sunday that Agbede was bedridden and he will take up the position Agbede was vying for.

Agbede and Ibikunle Baruma have over the last few months been laying claims of being the authentic National President of the union.

Aside Oluomo, Alhaji Sulaimon Ojora (Kudeti), deputy state chairman, and Alhaji Adekunle Mustspha (Sego) also attended the meeting with Sanwo-Olu on Sunday at Government House, Alausa.

In the course of the meeting, the governor was said to have inquired about Agbede. Akinsanya was alleged to have misinformed the governor that Agbede was bedridden and down with stroke.


It was after this disclosure that Sanwo-Olu prevailed on Oluomo to take a shot at the presidency of the union while Mustapha takes over from him as state chairman .

Reacting to this on Tuesday, Agbede in the statement he personally signed, titled,”I’m Hale and Hearty”, described the report as wicked and the handwork of his detractors who did not wish him well.

Agbede said, “The people who attended the meeting with MC Oluomo told me everything that transpired at the meeting.

“It is very unfortunate that Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya could go to that extent of wishing me dead. His level of desperation and greed is second to none.

“I want to use this opportunity to inform everybody that has been calling me for updates that I’m very strong and healthy. I’m okay.

Politics / MC Oluomo Steps Down As NURTW Chairman In Lagos by lekanolas: 9:47am On Jan 01
Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, has agreed to step down as Chairman of the Lagos Chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

Oluomo took the decision on Sunday after a meeting with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other key stakeholders at Government House, Alausa, Ikeja .

Dressed in a white native attire, Oluomo agreed to cede power to Mustapha Adekunle (Sego), the current Treasurer of the union in the state.

Sources at the meeting told our correspondent that Oluomo was prevailed upon to contest for the presidency of the union since one of the factional President of the union Tajudeen Agbede is currently bedridden.

Agbede is said to be down with stroke.

Aside Sanwo-Olu, others at the meeting were Sanwo- Olu's Chief of Staff, Tayo Ayinde, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi ,Commissioner for Transportation, Sola Giwa, Special Adviser to the governor on Transportation, Commissioner of Police in Lagos and the Director  of DSS in Lagos, Dapo Amao.

Others at the meeting were the current exco members of the union in the state

The Lagos State chapter has been in crisis after some leaders of the union in the state passed a vote of no confidence on Oluomo few days after he was re-elected for a second term a month ago.

It was gathered that Oluomo decided to step down after mounting pressure from most of his powerful friends and influential figures in Lagos including Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi.

Elegushi was said to have personally told Oluomo to step down or face imminent embarrassment from his loyalists.

It was further gathered that 80% of branch chairmen in Lagos have stopped remitting money to the union's state coffer, resulting in Oluomo's dwindling resources.

Politics / PDP Weighs Options Over Wike's Open Romance With APC by lekanolas: 6:48am On Aug 30, 2023
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is in quandary over how to handle the open romance between former Rivers governor Nyesom Wike and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Wike was recently appointed as a minister by President Bola Tinubu.

Party officials have kept sealed lips over its plans on how to deal with what some described as the most brazen case of anti-party activity ever embarked upon by a party leader.

Wike openly opposed the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, with other governors under the party known as PDP G5 governors.

The situation took an unexpected turn for the worse with Wike being named as a leading figure in the National Campaign Council of APC.

This came despite the fact that the PDP had on August 2, 2023, inaugurated a 72-man campaign Council team for the Bayelsa state  governorship election chaired by Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, with Wike as a member.

The APC has, however, disowned its list of National Campaign Councils for Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi governorship elections.

The rebuttal was contained in a statement issued in Abuja by the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka.

In a short statement released Tuesday night titled: Re: National Campaign Council Lists for Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi Governorship Elections, the party said earlier reports that former governor Wike was a member of the Bayelsa campaign council should be disregarded.

The statement said,” The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to National Campaign Council Lists for the 11th November 2023 Governorship Elections in Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo States in circulation in sections of the media. The lists are not official documents of the Party and should be disregarded.”

Politics / Chaos, Confusion Mar Oshodi/isolo Local Government Palliative Distribution by lekanolas: 6:19am On Aug 25, 2023
There was pandemonium on Wednesday at the Oshodi/Isolo local government secretariat, venue of the palliative distribution organized by the chairman of the local government, Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof.

Thousands of people had thronged the venue to receive food items from the the council chairman to cushion the effect of the fuel subsidy removal, however the situation turned chaotic, almost leading to a stampede.
The palliatives, which included gift packs, yams, eggs, plantain among other items, were to be shared among the residents of the council area irrespective of their political, religious, or tribal affiliations.

Each gift pack was said to have included a package of rice, beans groundnut oil and tomato paste.

It was gathered from eyewitnesses that people started arriving the venue as early as 6.30am for the event billed to start by 9am.

The event, tagged “Greater Oshodi Food Bank”, however, did not start until a few minutes to 11am .
It was learnt that trouble started immediately after the first set of people, mostly elderly people, received their rations as there was no proper information on how the distribution was going to be done.

The restive and compressed crowd got excited and people at the tail of the line started pushing for fear that the items might not go round.

The organisers were swiftly overwhelmed and then it all kicked off, several women fell to the ground and suffered injuries while others ran over them.

The confusion lasted for two hours as security guards including military officers beat back hundreds of people rushing to take their own packs.

A security official in the council, who spoke to our correspondent on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, confirmed that there were casualties during the rush .

He was, however, silent on whether there were fatalities among the casualties.

Politics / PDP Crisis: 'dont Take Fayose Serious'- Dino Melaye by lekanolas: 12:42pm On Mar 12, 2023
Spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council, Dino Melaye has said nobody should take former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose serious over claims that the presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar rejected the one term offer presented to him for peace to reign in PDP.

Melaye noted that anyone who knew the antecedents of Fayose would not take him serious.


Recall that Fayose while appearing as a guest on ARISE TV on March 2 revealed that, Atiku rejected the offer of one term in office to get the G5 governors’ support.

“I was invited by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar to a hotel in Lagos. I told him four things, that there were four demands they made of you. One, you are seventy-six as of last year. The G-5 said, you are already a candidate, you can’t abort a child that has been given birth to.

“But let us go back and tell the Southerners that you will spend four years so that it would not look like it will be eight to eight years back to back for the North because Buhari is leaving and he is representing the North irrespective of the party.


“They told his excellency to make his official announcement, not that he should hand it over to any member of the G-5. That you are going to spend four years and at that time you will be 80 years, all the people surrounding him disagree, that they can’t say such, when he becomes President he will say it, who does that?

Atiku lost the G5 governors’ states to APC’s Bola Tinubu who won three and Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi won two states.

However, Melaye has come out to puncture Fayose’s claim.

Speaking in an interview with Punch, Melaye said Nigerians should never take Fayose serious.

He stated that it was impossible for Fayose to sit in front of Atiku and say the G5 governors were offering him one term before they can suppport him

He said Nigerians should ask Fayose where he met Atiku and what was Atiku’s response.

‘Take anything from Fayose seriously at your own peril. Where did he sit down with Atiku to offer Atiku one term? Can Ayo Fayose sit in front of Atiku and say we are offering you one term? And what was Atiku’s response?

Melaye added that Fayose was only trying to curry favour from the APC
