No Governor Has The Power To Suspend NURTW – MC Oluomo

NURTW President, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has said that no governor has the power to suspend the union’s activities. He recently set up a committee following the suspension of the union’s activities by Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke.

Reacting via his deputy, Aliyu Issa Ore, MC Oluomo bragged that the union has in the past won several cases in different states regarding the suspension of NURTW’s activities.

He added that it is impossible for any suspension to happen because the union does not function under any state or governor’s power.

His words, “I have the mandate of the President to address you today as the leader of the NURTW in Nigeria. It would be recalled that in the last few months in Osun State, we lacked leadership of our union in Osun.

Despite calling and sending a series of letters to invite our leadership in Osun, which they failed to honour that letter, most especially we heard that they are on the run.

We could not leave the activities of the union without having the leader on the ground. Today, we heard that the state governor in Osun suspended the activities of our union, which they don’t have that power.

Not any single state governor has power to suspend the activities of the union, because we are not under any state. There is an Act that established the NURTW. We have one series of decrees.

I know in Oyo, recently, in Lagos, in so many states, they turned the deaf ear to our pain. But that notwithstanding, the issue at stake is not that issue. What is paramount to us is to have our leadership on ground.

Most especially, we have MoU with INEC, of which I was in INEC yesterday, based on the directive of the president of our union. So, in view of this, we have to inaugurate the caretaker members, who are to mount the leadership of the NURTW, pending the time we resolve all issues attached to Osun.

It is my singular honour to tell you and inform you that these are the leadership that will be leading our union activities in Osun. First, the chairman is Alhaji Kazeem Oyewale.”
