It is no longer news that the
National Treasurer for Lagos chapter of the National Road Union Transport
Workers, Musiliu Akinsanya, better known as MC Oluomo, lost his bid to succeed
the outgoing chairman of Lagos State chapter, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede.
What is not known is that Agbede
was instrumental in the emergence of Michael Odugunle as the new chairman of
the Lagos union.
According to an insider, Agbede
worked against the Oluomo’s bid to become the next Lagos NURTW chairman.
Akinsanya, a close ally of
Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, has been a major contender for the plum job until he was
shocked by Agbede’s move, fielding his own preferred successor at the just
concluded election.
While MC Oluomo is close to the
National Chairman of the ruling party, Agbede is a strong supporter of the
immediate past Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode.
Oluomo was disappointed after
losing the election.
Agbede and Oluomo have been at
each other’s throats for a while over the NURTW chairmanship in Lagos.
Agbede, after spending his
eight-year tenure in office, ensured that Oluomo did not succeed him.
