There were insinuations that the Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Lagos State chapter, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo, was to be installed as the Oba of Oshodi.
Briefing reporters on the position of the family, Maroof-deen said that the Oshodi Tapa Chieftaincy family was the absolute owner and controller of Oshodi town in Oshodi/ Isolo Local Government.
He said: “We have not endorsed anybody to be Oba. We have not even called for candidature as I speak. We, therefore, take report of Musiliu Akinsanya also known as MC Oluomo’s moves to be Oba of Oshodi as a rumour because he is not a member of the Oshodi Tapa chieftaincy family and has no right to the stool of Oshodi town. It therefore will stand to reason that members of the Oshodi family, being undisputed owners of the land, will be traditional rulers of the entire Oshodi community in focus. We want to publicly distance our family from this campaign.
“We have already instituted a case, we have made an advertorial that has been published and we have also written to the government.”
