NURTW President, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has denied claims of meeting Labour Party’s Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 elections.
Reacting to a viral photo suggesting a shift in loyalty, MC Oluomo said on Instagram that the image was fake and that he never met Obi or received a message from him. He stressed that he is currently outside Nigeria and remains firmly loyal to President Bola Tinubu.
He said: “I, Alhaji Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya (MC Oluomo), National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), have taken notice of a manipulated image and false news report circulating on social media, particularly in the northern part of Nigeria.
“The report falsely claims that Peter Obi paid homage to me and vowed to work with me. I categorically state that this report is entirely false and without basis. Multiple fact-checking platforms and blogs have already debunked this claim, revealing that the image was photoshopped.
“There is no evidence of any meeting or congratulatory message from Peter Obi to me. I am currently abroad, and any claims suggesting otherwise are baseless. I urge the public to disregard this false news and rely on credible sources of information. I reaffirm my support for HE Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his Hope Agenda.”
