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

The Lagos State Parks Management Committee led by Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo has mobilised some thugs to be on standby in case the ruling of the Presidential Election Tribunal does not favour President Bola Tinubu.

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

In a video clip obtained by SaharaReporters, MC Oluomo alongside others occupying the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) office in Abuja, awaiting the decision of the Tribunal on the petitions filed against the declaration of Tinubu as the winner of the February election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

SaharaReporters earlier reported that the three presidential candidates who are slugging it out at the Presidential Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja; President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labour Party were all absent in court as it delivers its ruling on Wednesday.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that ahead of the final judgement of the Presidential Election Petitions Court (PEPC) on the petitions filed against the electoral victory of Tinubu slated for this Wednesday morning, a mammoth crowd of litigants, lawyers and other interested parties have arrived at the court.

Those present in the courtroom were Vice President Shettima; Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; Ganduje; Governors Hope Uzodinma and Yahaya Bello of Imo and Kogi states respectively, among others from the ruling party.

From the opposition side were the acting national chairman of the PDP, Umar Damagun and Abure.

In March, SaharaReporters also reported how MC Oluomo, has issued a threat to Igbo people to stay at home during the governorship election in Lagos on Saturday if they do not want to vote for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates.

This was seen in a viral video in which the loyalist to Tinubu was addressing a gathering and warning their Igbo neighbours not to bother to go to the polling units on Election Day if they intended to vote for candidates other than the ruling party's flagbearers.

Meanwhile, MC Oluomo has publicly described himself as being owned by Tinubu.

In October 2018, MC Oluomo, in an Instagram post, said Tinubu owned him and the APC and that whatever he (Tinubu) wanted was what he (MC Oluomo) would 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.”
