The former chairman of the Lagos chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has been elected national president of the union.
Akinsanya was the sole candidate in the election at the union’s zonal secretariat along the Osogbo/Ikirun road in Osun state.
Representatives from the four southwestern states—Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti—took part in the election.
The election, conducted during the union’s quadrennial delegate conference, was overseen by Aliyu Issa-Ore, the acting national president of the transport association.
After taking the oath of office, Akinsanya urged members of the NURTW to remain dedicated to preserving the integrity of the union.
He said: “I have forgiven everyone who has offended me, and I hope those I have offended will forgive me as well.
“This is our union, and we must be committed to preserving it. We will not allow anyone to destroy our means of livelihood.”
