The transportation sector in Nigeria is witnessing a significant shift with the appointment of MC Oluomo as the National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). His son, King West, took to social media to celebrate this achievement, boasting that his father's influence now extends beyond Lagos to the entire country.

King West's post, which included a photo of his father with President Bola Tinubu, sparked a mix of reactions. While some congratulated MC Oluomo on his new role, others expressed concern about the implications of his leadership. MC Oluomo's rise to power has been marred by controversy, including allegations of violence and intimidation.

As the former chairman of NURTW in Lagos, MC Oluomo has been accused of using thugs to intimidate opponents and rig elections. His appointment as chairman of the Lagos State Parks Management Committee was seen as a reward for his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC). With his new role as National President, MC Oluomo's influence is expected to spread across the country.

MC Oluomo's background is marked by humble beginnings. Born in Oshodi, Lagos, he dropped out of school and worked as a bus driver before rising through the ranks of the NURTW. His leadership style has been described as shrewd and calculative, earning him both admirers and critics.

The impact of MC Oluomo's national presidency on the transportation sector remains to be seen. Some see his leadership as an opportunity for reform, while others fear it may perpetuate existing problems. The Lagos State Government has already dissolved its Park and Garages committee, allowing the NURTW to manage activities at motor parks and garages.

As King West's boastful claims continue to generate buzz, one thing is clear: MC Oluomo's influence will be felt far beyond Lagos. Only time will tell if his leadership will bring positive change or controversy to the transportation sector.
