The National Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has revealed that he personally spent ₦756 million to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2023 presidential campaign.
In a viral video circulating on social media, Akinsanya stated that he did not receive any financial assistance from Abuja during the campaign period. He explained that the funds were used to cover hotel accommodations, logistics, and daily allowances for campaign workers.
According to him, about 140 hotel rooms were booked at ₦45,000 per night for four months, in addition to daily stipends for those working on the campaign.
“I spent ₦756 million of my own money during the campaign. Nobody from Abuja gave me a dime. I paid for hotels and took care of everyone working day and night for Asiwaju’s victory,” he said.
Akinsanya, a long-time ally of President Tinubu, reiterated his loyalty to the president and expressed readiness to contribute even more towards securing his re-election in 2027.
“We’re not resting. 2027 is around the corner, and we’re already working to make sure Asiwaju wins again,” he added.
MC Oluomo, who played a key role in mobilising grassroots support for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos and beyond, has continued to maintain a strong presence in the president’s political network since the 2023 elections.
