JUST IN: MC OLUOMO EMERGES AS NEW NURTW NATIONAL PRESIDENT
The National Union of Road Transport Workers’ Lagos State Chapter’s former chairman, Mr. Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, was chosen on Saturday to serve as the organization’s next national president.
Taking held at the Union’s Zonal Secretariat along the Osogbo/Ikirun road, the election featured only one candidate, Akinsanya.
Participating in the election were delegates from Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, and Ekiti, the four states of the Southwest.
The group’s interim National President, Aliyu Issa-Ore, saw and noted the election, which took place during the Union’s Quadrennial Delegate Conference.
Issa-Ore, addressing the gathering, explained that the Union’s Constitution stipulates that the zone permitted to fill the national president’s position would elect its preferred candidate and present them to the national body.
“The Southwest zone has fully complied with the Constitution in electing Oluomo as President,” the interim NURTW President said, through Mrs. Adedamola Salam, Head of Finance at the National Headquarters in Abuja.
Additionally, Akeem Adeosun was selected as a Trustee from the Zone, while Tajudeen Agbede was voted Vice President, Southwest by the delegates.
Akinsanya, flanked by colleagues and family, urged for peace shortly after taking the oath of office and promised to strive for harmony among members.
He further stated, “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.”
