It was gathered that Baruwa issued a statement on Tuesday dissolving the executive committee of the state chapter headed by Comrade Tajudeen Agbede and replaced it with an 18- member caretaker committee led by MC Oluomo.

Speaking during the protest, the Chairman of Ojuwoye NURTW branch, Ademola Olanrewaju, accused the national leadership of trying to impose Oluomo on the state chapter.

He said: “A meeting was held yesterday and after the meeting, it was decided that MC Oluomo should emerge as the chairman of the caretaker committee.

“Directly or indirectly, they are trying to impose him on us because there was fracas in Abuja and both parties were supposed to be dealt with, but MC Oluomo’s group was exonerated.

“What we are agitating for is that we don’t want MC’s government in Lagos State.

“Lagos State has given us the little it can in terms of empowerment, by giving us what to eat.”
