The Publicist of Fuji maestro,
Wasiu Ayinde Anifowoshe, Kunle Rasheed has narrated the events that led to the
stabbing of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) Lagos State
Treasurer Musiliu Akinsanya (a.k.a MC Oluomo) during the rally of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) at the Skypower Grounds, Ikeja Government
Reservation Area (GRA) last Tuesday.
According to him, the crisis,
which was purely union matter, started between NURTW State Auditor Adekunle
Mustapha (Sego) and Idumota Chairman Azeez Lawal (a.k.a Kunle Poly) on K1’s
stage.
He said: “Both of them (Mustapha
and Lawal) had issues on K1’s stage and K1 waded into the matter. At a point,
Mustapha left the stage. Not quite long. MC Oluomo came on stage and exchanged
greetings with K1, NURTW State Chairman, Tajudeen Agbede.
As at that time, the
boys of Sego and Kunle Poly had started fighting on the ground. So, it was not
safe for MC Oluomo to leave the stage until one of Kunle Poly’s boys came on
stage and threatening to kill MC Oluomo with a dagger. Agbede slapped him three
times and chased him away. K1 also joined him to chase him away from the stage.
He later returned to the stage and stabbed MC Oluomo and one Abija. That was
how it happened.”
According to him, if not for K1,
the crisis would have been bigger than that as he repeatedly talking to both
warring parties to douse the tension.
“I was on the stage with them. I was there all
through. K1 tried his best to resolve the crisis between the NURTW leaders over
the State Chairmanship tussle even before that rally. People should stop
accusing K1 of not doing enough to resolve their crisis,” he said.
Rasheed denied that the musician
abuse Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, which some said led the supporters
of the governor to start the crisis.
According to him, the track
people were referring to has nothing to do with Ambode.
“If you check the new album he
made for (Babajide) Sanwo-Owu, that track is there. He has even sang the track
long before the crisis started. The track is all about APC and the party’s
governorship candidate,” he said.
On why K1 continue singing while
Ambode was making his speech, Rasheed described it as normal practice.
“If you are at the APC Convention
in Abuja, the instruction was that as soon as someone is introduced, K1 will
sing. Same thing happened at the Skypower Grounds, K1 started singing when
Governor Ambode handed the party’s flag to Sanwo-Olu and that has nothing to do
with the crisis. He didn’t abuse or insult Governor Ambode as some are
peddling,” he said.
