Musiliu Akinsanya, often known as MC Oluomo, the chairman of the management committee for the Lagos State Park and Garages, has clarified the contentious sale and application of a sticker featuring Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.
Earlier, Anaedoonline.ng had reported that there had been unrest on Tuesday in Lagos State’s Agbado neighborhood as a result of the need that transport workers pay N500 to put stickers for Bola Tinubu’s campaign on their Kekes.
One of the union workers at the park was seen increasing pressure on a Keke driver to pay N500 as he attempted to forcibly apply the stickers to his Keke in a viral video that this news platform was able to view.

The Keke driver, on the other hand, balked and insisted on refusing to pay a dollar, even offering to pay the fictitious union official to remove the sticker from his Keke.
Since then, there have been a flurry of emotions as netizens have insulted the APC candidate whose picture was on the sticker.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the stickers also include MC Oluomo, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, and Kashim Shettima, the APC’s vice presidential nominee.
In a video that was uploaded to Instagram on Tuesday night, MC Oluomo responded to the outburst by denying any involvement in the campaign stickers.
He declared unequivocally that he is not that stupid to act in such a way.

MC Oluomo, in a statement read by the union’s secretary, said: “My attention has yet again been drawn to a video clip circulating online showing an altercation between two people as regards a sticker.
“It came to me as a surprise seeing that people were attaching the video to me and were also quick to state that it was a campaign fee to support the election of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
“Naturally, I would have just ignored knowing that it’s the handiwork of naysayers. Being in an election session, I also know their malicious intentions and the cheap political goal they aim to get with the video. I am however compelled for the sake of clarity to set the record straight.
“I did not know anything about the said sticker, and 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. May I also inform the public that the APC Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has more than enough people willing to finance his campaign and such money would not come from me or my office.
“I want to urge our people to be vigilant and remember that we are in an election period, as such, political parties would be looking for ways, both ethical and unethical, to outsmart themselves. I however implore them to leave me out of their political permutations and stop maligning my name for the sake of cheap popularity. Thank you.”
