Civil Society Stakeholders under the platform of the Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights (CHSR) has tackled the Lagos State Government under the leadership of Babajide Sanwo-Olu over the plots to impose Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo as the state chairman for the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
In a press statement released by the group president, Comrade Alex Omotehinse, it was alleged that MC Oluomo has been using his influence in government to hijack the transport workers’ union.
The CHSR warned the Lagos State governor to caution MC Oluomo to be contended with his roles as the Chief Manager of Parks and Garages and allow other stakeholders within NURTW breathe and operate without interference in Lagos.
The statement reads: “This press briefing is in furtherance of the mandate of CHSR and the overriding quest of civil society stakeholders in the quest to defend victims of abuse of human rights and to promote the cause of justice and peaceful coexistence in the society. We are therefore compelled, as one of the strategic platforms of civil society stakeholders in Lagos State to do a follow up on our earlier clarion call through media briefing on April 28, 2022 on the potential disruptive motive of vested interests masquerading as authentic trade unionists under the banner of the now dissolved Parks and Garden.
