Lawyer Says He Was Ousted From Nigerian Bar Association WhatsApp Platform For Calling Tinubu’s Loyalist, MC Oluomo ‘Executive Thug’

A Nigerian lawyer, Monsieur Avril, has said he was removed from the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Ikeja WhatsApp Platform for calling the leader of the Lagos chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo an “executive thug”.

MC Oluomo is an ally and loyalist of President Bola Tinubu.

On his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Mr Avril shared screenshots of the WhatsApp messages.

The legal practitioner said before he was removed from the platform, there were a series of hot discussions on the judgements recently delivered by the Presidential Petition Election Court in Abuja.

The lawyer wrote: “Ronu pipo have taken over NBA IKEJA WhatsApp Platform. If you speak against the PEPT judgement or argue against the Emergency Patriots of the Judiciary on the group. They tag it a person against the Judiciary and You risk been removed.

“I was removed from the NBA Ikeja Platform for using a derogatory caption against MC Oluomo. The Derogatory Word = “Executive Thug,” he added.

SaharaReporters had reported how MC Oluomo mobilised some thugs to be on standby in case the ruling of the Presidential Election Tribunal did not favour President Tinubu.

SaharaReporters gathered that the hoodlums mobilised by MC Oluomo to Abuja include members of the Lagos State Parks Management Committee.

In March, SaharaReporters reported how MC Oluomo threatened Igbo people in Lagos, warning them against coming out to vote in the governorship and state legislative elections if they did not want to vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates.

Addressing a gathering, MC Oluomo warned Igbo people not to bother going to the polling units if they intended to vote for candidates other than the ruling party’s candidates.

In October 2018, MC Oluomo described himself as a loyalist of Tinubu in an Instagram post.

According to MC Oluomo, Tinubu owns him and the APC and whatever he (Tinubu) wants is what he (MC Oluomo) will support.

He wrote on his Instagram page, “I am an Asiwaju Bola Ahmend Tinubu Jagaban loyalist, I wear the Jagaban jersey, I’ve been a loyalist since 1999, the first mecca i went is through his execellence in the year 2000, moreso, he as done alot for me, he made me who i am today our relationship has been was very cordial and strong in the area that I grew up in.

“So I’m one of his loyalist that have strong believe in him, he own the party and any where his interest belong I Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya Mc oloumo belong. I and my people in Oshodi formerly endorse HE Akinwunmi Ambode for 2nd term because his government is still working in the shadow of the party national leader, but now the case is vice-visa i have to follow the interest of Bola Ahmend Tinubu and the party decision.

“If Asiwaju Bola Ahmend Tinubu again says is no more Babajide Sanwoolu but someone else, so shall it be.”
