    I don’t care what people say, I will forever stand with Tinubu – MC Oluomo

    Chairman, National Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW, Lagos branch, Alhaji Akinsanya Ayinde, popularly known as MC Oluomo on Wednesday said he would forever stand with the National Leader, All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, no matter what people say.

    Tinubu has been in the eyes of the storm since soldiers shot at #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki Tollgate last week Tuesday.

    The protesters accused Tinubu of sending the soldiers to shoot at protesters and there were rumours that he fled to France and later to London.

    Tinubu later showed up at Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s residence in Marina to condole with the governor over the shooting incident, debunking that he ever travelled.

    Tinubu’s properties were singled out for destruction during the #EndSARS violence. TVC and The Nation were set ablaze, as well as others.

    Despite Tinubu’s explanation that he did not have hand in the shooting at the Lekki Tollgate, many still did not believe.

    But Oluomo, reacting to the development said he would forever be loyal to Tinubu and would not betray him.

    “I will forever stand with Bola Ahmed Tinubu no matter what people say,” he tweeted.

    According to him, “The brutality and extortion experienced by the good people of Nigeria is unacceptable and must be stopped .Nigerian Police Force must be reformed”.

     

    The union leader said: “I will like to state unequivocally that I neither know the thugs that destruct the protest nor sponsor them because I have no reason to do so. Their demands are for the generality of Nigerians and I totally align myself with them.A better and safer Nigeria is what I want for both my children and loved ones. That is why it came to me as a shock when some unscrupulous individuals were peddling falsehood that I am the one that sponsored the thugs that disperse the protesters. I am not responsible and I will never be part of such anti-people move.Luckily enough, some of the thugs had been arrested. I implore the Police to conduct their investigations diligently and make the perpetrators to face the full wrath of the law”.
