The chairman of the Lagos State Park and Garages Management Committee, Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, has reacted to allegations that he ordered all transporters in the state to buy a N500 bumper sticker to support the presidential campaign of Bola Tinubu.
He and his union had been accuses of forcing tricycle (Keke Napep) riders to acquire stickers bearing images of himself; Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In a video seen by National Daily on his Instagram page, MC Oluomo denied the allegation, describing it as totally false and intended to cause disaffection among his people.

Publishing a statement on his Instagram page to distance himself from the controversy, MC Oluomo wrote; My attention has yet again been drawn to a video clip circulating online showing an altercation between two people as regards a sticker,”
“It came to me as a surprise seeing that people were attaching the video to me and were also quick to state that it was a campaign fee to support the election of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.”
He added; “We are against anything that would hamper the free flow of business activities or bring hardship upon our people.
“May I also inform the public that the APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has more than enough people willing to finance his campaign and such money would not come from me or my office?
“I want to urge our people to be vigilant and remember that we are in an election period, as such, political parties would be looking for ways, both ethical and unethical, to outsmart themselves. I however implore them to leave me out of their political permutations and stop maligning my name for the sake of cheap popularity.”
