Tinubu: MC Oluomo Responds To Reports Of Imposing N500 Levy On Tricycles

Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Oluomo, the Chairman of the Lagos State Park and Garages Management Committee, has denied reports that he ordered tricycle riders in Lagos to buy stickers to support Bola Tinubu's presidential ambition.

A video circulating online shows some riders expressing displeasure over the alleged directive to pay N500 for Tinubu campaign stickers.

Reacting to the reports in a statement, MC Oluomo stated that he was surprised that people are linking him to the development.

“I did not know anything about the said sticker neither did I sanction the sale. I would appreciate additional information as regards the location where the incident happened so that we can conduct a thorough investigation.

“We are against anything that would hamper the free flow of business activities or bring hardship upon our people", he said.

According to Oluomo, Tinubu has more than enough people willing to finance his campaign and financial donations would not come from him nor his office.

He advised citizens to be cautious because political parties are looking for ways (ethical and unethical) to outsmart one another.
