Tinubu’s Loyalist And Lagos Parks Committee Chairman, MC Oluomo Writes Electoral Body, INEC To Allow His Transporters Distribute Election Materials

The Lagos State Parks Management Committee led by Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo has written to the electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission to allow his members to distribute sensitive electoral materials and transport election officials on Election Day.

This appeal is stated in a letter the union wrote to INEC in January 2023, which states that the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) had been suspended and that INEC should disregard any relationship with them.

The letter reads: “The Lagos State Parks and Garages Management (LASPG) hereby write to bring to your notice that Lagos State and States such as Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and some States are no longer under the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) as transportation is concerned. But under the various States Parks and Garages respectively.

“Our notification and request letter become imperative in order for there not to be technical as well as administrative lacuna in terms of transporting logistics and deployment/retrieval of election materials and personnel to and from all election points in the aforementioned States during the forthcoming 2023 General Election which if not quickly addressed might affect the election day.

“We at Lagos State Parks and Garages, under the Chairmanship of Alhaji (Dr.) Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya do hereby request that INEC should conduct an investigation into this information supplied while at the same time request that all transportation related arrangements in Lagos State should be at our preview because the operation of NURTW in Lagos State has been suspended.”

In October 2018, MC Oluomo described himself as a loyalist of Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in an Instagram post.

According to MC Oluomo, Tinubu owns him and the APC and whatever he (Tinubu) wants is what he (MC Oluomo) will support.

He wrote on his Instagram page, “I am an Asiwaju Bola Ahmend Tinubu Jagaban loyalist, I wear the Jagaban jersey, I've been a loyalist since 1999, the first mecca i went is through his execellence in the year 2000, moreso, he as done alot for me, he made me who i am today our relationship has been was very cordial and strong in the area that I grew up in.

“So I'm one of his loyalist that have strong believe in him, he own the party and any where his interest belong I Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya Mc oloumo belong. I and my people in Oshodi formerly endorse HE Akinwunmi Ambode for 2nd term because his government is still working in the shadow of the party national leader, but now the case is vice-visa i have to follow the interest of Bola Ahmend Tinubu and the party decision.

“If Asiwaju Bola Ahmend Tinubu again says is no more Babajide Sanwoolu but someone else, so shall it be.”

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters earlier reported on Thursday that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, warned INEC against using the Lagos State Parks Management Committee led by MC Oluomo for logistics during the February polls.

This was stated in a press release by Atiku’s Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu.

INEC National Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, met with the leadership of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employees Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) on Tuesday and reached an agreement on how to transport election officials and ballot papers to polling units on the Election Day.

But Shaibu noted that Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had banned the NURTW because the union's national leadership had suspended MC Oluomo, Tinubu's henchman in the state.

He stated, “It has been brought to our attention that INEC will be using members of the NURTW, RTEAN and other registered unions to transport election materials and electoral officials and corps members on election day. Unfortunately, in Lagos State, there is no NURTW or RTEAN as they have been proscribed by Governor Sanwo-Olu.”

“To preserve the sanctity of this election and ensure that there is no room for electoral malpractice, INEC must ensure that MC Oluomo is not allowed access to ballot papers. INEC should not make use of the state’s park committee.

“Rather, the commission should reach out to the national leadership of the NURTW and or engage the services of any logistic company for the purpose of distributing sensitive electoral materials in Lagos State,” Shaibu said.

manyus:
I don't know you are this daft! Did a muslim succeeded Obasanjo?.People like you are the fanatics that doesn't tolerate other people's religion/opinion

seunmsg:
If Tinubu loses, a Muslim southerner will never be president or VP again.

Naajjii:
Just Imagine what this nyamiri is saying, if you are making it about religion we will see how Christians will make Obi president. If you are a Christian in Nigeria and you think or believe you will be eliminated then you are a coward. All this mallacious narrative you are saying here is just a way to decieve people to vote Obi.
Nyamiri can not be Nigeria president.

Truthisunique2:
Lol, this format still dey

robinso01:
The same excuses you've been giving for not executing projects in your state.
As for the Fulani, they will soon meet their end when their brother leaves aso villa.

The governor, who made the remark while addressing newsmen in Makurdi on Thursday, insisted that he will not be intimidated by anyone to back down from his fight against the invasion of the state by Fulani terrorists from other parts of Africa.

Ortom further vowed not to back down in protecting their interest till the day he leaves office.

DAILY POST reports that the development followed allegations against the governor by a group of Fulani elite led by the dethroned Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi saying that he was being targeted for elimination.


In his reaction, Ortom opined that his attention was drawn to a “write-up signed by 52 personalities of Fulani extraction led by the deposed Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi in form of a letter to Mr President in which the group leveled all manner of accusations against me in a desperate attempt to set me up for hatred, vilification and attacks.

“The group, which refused to give itself a name, accused me of being responsible for the recent killing of some pastoralists at Akwanaja, Doma Local Government Area of Nasarawa State via a bomb attack. They tried to link the Benue State Livestock Guards with the killings, claiming that the pastoralists were bombed on their way from Benue to Nasarawa after they had retrieved their cattle.


“The group maliciously accused me of carrying out genocide against pastoralists. The dethroned Emir Sanusi did not stop at that. He made a video in Hausa in which he maligned me and called on all Fulanis to consider me as their enemy while urging those in Benue State to vote against me during the coming elections.”

“I consider these allegations and blackmail targeted at my person and the Government of Benue State as part of a grand conspiracy by enemies of the state to eliminate me. Since 2017 when we enacted the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law, I have escaped seven assassination attempts.”


“The recent utterances of some personalities such as Lamido Sanusi have revealed the true identities of those behind the sinister agenda to eliminate me. But my life is in the hands of God and only He can permit anything evil to come my way,” he stated.

He emphasised that “Let me tell the dethroned Emir of Kano, Lamido Sanusi and his conspirators that I cannot be intimidated by any of them. I hold the mandate of Benue people and my allegiance is to my people in respect of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which gives states as federating units, the power to enact laws for the good governance of their people.”

He spoke further, “I must state categorically that the Benue State Government under my leadership has no hand in the Akwanaja incident. Linking me with the bomb attack in Doma, Nasarawa State is the most unfair thing anyone would do to me.

“How am I connected or responsible for what did not take place in my state? Akwanaja is in Doma local government area of Nasarawa State, so how do I account for what did not take place in my state? I am Chief Security Officer only in Benue State.

“Fulani herdsmen attacks on my people in the last couple of years have caused a devastating humanitarian crisis resulting in the killing of over 6,000 Benue people and the displacement of about two million others with many living in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. Our people have suffered the organized genocide masked in terrorism, not because they do not know their attackers.

“Benue people know those who are visiting them with unprovoked violence and killings, but as law-abiding citizens of Nigeria, we have chosen to sustain our belief in the conventional security agencies of this country. Now, the enemy has turned round to accuse our people of being the aggressors,” he stressed.

“It is public knowledge that right from the day the law came into effect, umbrella bodies of nomadic herders boldly came out with impunity and said they would never obey the law.

“They vowed to mobilize Fulanis across the West African sub-region to invade Benue State and stop implementation of the law. They actualized their threats on the eve of the 2018 New Year when they carried out simultaneous attacks on Guma and Logo local government areas killing 73 people whom we painfully gave a mass burial in Makurdi on January 11, 2018.

amanda2013:
Tinubu matter don tire me. Like someone said above, I blame the people supporting him especially youths.

lazynairalander1:
In as much as I don't align with how seun and his kids run this platform some times, I believe you northerners owe tinubu a great deal. He made your demi-god president after his numerous attempt which failed obviously.

It's natural that you return the favour. As for the thread I read it yesterday and I didn't see anything that warrant it to be deleted from my POV though.

Arrewa:
Why did Nairaland delete my thread asking Yorubas to stop referring to northerners as betrayers for some of us not wanting to vote Tinubu??

Dear sensible Nigerians?? what is wrong with a northner expressing the stance of majority of his people base on empirical evidence, personal observation and experience!!

Why is Nairaland doctorial in Nature?? Why is Nairaland so mean in silencing northners??

I stopped staying much active here on Nairaland because of the dictorial tendency of this forum!! I now Base on Twitter, I have many pages with large audience there... Including Facebook!

What is wrong with that thread?? Did i insult any individual or tribe??

You deleted a thread because I said that Northerners didn't promise any vote to Tinubu?? You deleted the threat because I stated clearly that APC north had a zoning agreement with Tinubu not the average northerner on the street??

Ahead of the 2023 elections, President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday reiterated his commitment to ensuring free and fair elections this year.

President Buhari gave the assurance when he received the Secretary General of the World Customs Organization Dr Kunio Mikuriya who is in Nigeria for a Global Conference on Fragile Borders.

He underscored that in spite of the usual excitement and gamesmanship that accompanies campaigns, he will ensure that the elections are conducted in a peaceful and conducive atmosphere.

The President further stated that Nigeria and her neighbors must place a higher premium on the effective policing of borders, underlining that the fragile nature of entry points into various countries simply enhances terrorism, economic sabotage, and illicit flow of arms.

Meanwhile, the Head of the WCO Dr Mikuriya, whose fourth visit it is to the country, has asked the Customs Services to go beyond mere revenue generation and delve into security.

He noted that the nation cannot effectively secure revenues without security at the borders.

TheChameleon:


Peter Obi supporters want to hide his disgrace.

Atiku will flog him mercilessly in South East.

Even Ojukwu was disgraced when he ran for Presidency and Senate.

PDP are expert in keeping their slaves. 24 years no be beans

OBIDENTS went to burn the PVCs... still very intact.

PrinceOfLagos:
This news go pepper the ever foolish and useless Tinubu urchins

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has reacted to the most recent attack on its facility in Anambra State.

The INEC office in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State was attacked and set ablaze by unknown gunmen on Wednesday.

A report released by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Anambra State, Dr. Queen Elizabeth Agwu indicated that the building was substantially damaged with all furniture and other items destroyed, including non-sensitive materials.

729 ballot boxes, 243 voting cubicles, 256 election bags, 11 megaphones, 1 electric power generator and large quantities of indelible ink and liquid gum were some of the items destroyed by the fire.

The report, however, said the uncollected Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) were not touched because they were kept in the fireproof cabinet.

A statement by Festus Okoye, National Commissioner & Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee said the destruction appears to have been coordinated as the Nnobi Police Station in the LGA was similarly attacked.

INEC says it wishes to reassure the people of the affected Local Government Area that contingency arrangements will be made to replace the destroyed items.

The Commission vowed that nothing will stop the Presidential and National Assembly elections from proceeding on 25th February 2023 as scheduled.
