Davido Draws Battle Line With MC Oluomo

 

OpenLife News reports that as the August 15 governorship election in Osun State draws near, titans and critical stakeholders are moving closer to the trenches for a deadly final battle.

At the centre of the political war is the State ruling party, Accord, with an incumbent governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke and the national ruling All Progressives Congress, APC with presidential support and candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji.

Only recently, the Osun State government suspended National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
operations across the state.

The governor cited security considerations and directed the police to halt levy collections by the union at all parks. He also ordered security agencies to arrest any individuals posing as union officials.

Irked by the directive, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo who is an APC stalwart and national president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, expressed reservations, saying a governor has no right to stop the activities of the union.

MC Oluomo further argued that Adeleke lacks the constitutional authority to suspend the union’s operations in the state.

Sensing the outright challenge of the governor’s authority, Davido, a globally renowned musical artist and billionaire in all currencies with overwhelming influence over the youths took a swipe at MC Oluomo.

In a post shared on his Instagram Story, Davido questioned the union leader’s intentions, writing: “@kingmcoluomo dem say u Dey game… I doubt lol look ur mirror.”

Davido has actively supported his uncle’s campaign, having been appointed head of youth mobilisation for the party’s campaign council in April.

He also inaugurated the Imole Youth Mobilisation Campaign Council.

In June, the singer vowed to resist any attempt to manipulate the election.

More recently, he accused former governor Gboyega Oyetola of political desperation and plotting to cause unrest in the state.
