The National President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has disclosed that he personally spent over ₦756 million of his own money to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2023 presidential campaign.
In a viral video circulating online, the Lagos transport boss and long-time ally of the president stated that he received no financial support from Abuja throughout the campaign period.
“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,” MC Oluomo said.
According to him, he booked 140 hotel rooms at ₦45,000 per night for four months, and also catered for Nollywood actors, actresses, and other entertainers who participated in the campaign.
He explained that the huge expenses were necessary to ensure effective mobilisation and coordination across Lagos and other states during the election.
“I handled accommodation, feeding, and transportation for all campaign teams, entertainers, and volunteers who came to support Asiwaju,” he added.
Reaffirming his loyalty to President Tinubu, MC Oluomo vowed to invest even more resources in ensuring victory in the 2027 general elections.
“We’re not resting. 2027 is around the corner, and we’re already working to make sure Asiwaju wins again,” he declared confidently.
His revelation has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some hailing his dedication while others questioned the source of the ₦756 million campaign funds
