Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as Kwam 1, has brokered a peace deal between the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, and the Lagos State Chairman of the union, Mustapha Adekunle, popularly known as Tafa Sego.
The reconciliation took place at Ojusagbola in Ijebu, Ogun State, with several NURTW chieftains in attendance.
Kwam 1 announced the development on Tuesday through his digital media page on Instagram, where photographs from the meeting were shared.
According to the post, the two NURTW chieftains had resolved their differences after years of estrangement.
“After years of an age-long rift, MC Oluomo and Tafa Sego have finally settled their differences. And from what we know now, this is final,” the post stated.
It added that the meeting was more than a public show of reconciliation, noting that the two former allies and colleagues came together at Ojusagbola, with Kwam 1 playing the role of peacemaker.
The post said Kwam 1 intervened in his capacity as the Mayegun of Yorubaland to seek an end to the long-standing disagreement between the two NURTW figures.
“K1 acted in his role as the Mayegun of Yorubaland by seeking an end to the long-standing rift, once and for all,” it stated.
The post added that both parties were pleased with the outcome of the meeting.
The reconciliation comes after years of tension between MC Oluomo and Tafa Sego, who were previously allies within the Lagos NURTW.
Their disagreement had been linked to leadership struggles within the union and had, at various times, spilled into public events.
In January 2019, MC Oluomo was among several people injured during violence at an APC campaign rally at the Sky Power Ground in Ikeja, Lagos. PUNCH reported that a supremacy battle involving supporters of MC Oluomo and Sego disrupted the rally, while MC Oluomo was stabbed and subsequently taken to hospital. The police later declared Sego wanted in connection with the incident.
In September 2019, despite having previously been declared wanted over the rally violence, Sego was appointed to the caretaker committee of the NURTW led by MC Oluomo.
Tensions surrounding the Lagos chapter of the union resurfaced in subsequent years, particularly over leadership and control of its operations.
In January 2024, MC Oluomo resigned as chairman of the Lagos State chapter of the NURTW amid a leadership struggle within the union. A meeting facilitated by the then Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and other government officials subsequently led to changes in the union’s leadership structure.
The latest reconciliation effort follows another public disagreement at Kwam 1’s New Year All White Party in Lagos on January 2, 2026.
A video from the event showed members associated with Sego’s faction reacting after Kwam 1 publicly recognised MC Oluomo as the head of the NURTW. The incident reportedly caused a commotion, after which the Fuji musician appealed to the NURTW leaders to unite.
The latest meeting at Ojusagbola has now brought the two men together again, with Kwam 1’s digital media page describing the long-standing disagreement as resolved.
