"Look Ur Mirror": Davido Drags MC Oluomo Over Osun NURTW Ban!

Welcome back to Naija Buzz Media! The internet is currently on fire as Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has officially entered the political chat to defend his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke. His target? None other than the President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, widely known as MC Oluomo.

The drama is hot, the shades are heavy, and Nigerians are absolutely loving it! Here is a full breakdown of why Davido is dragging the transport union boss online.

The Osun State NURTW Ban

The controversy started when Governor Ademola Adeleke ordered the immediate suspension of all NURTW activities in motor parks across Osun State. The decision followed severe security concerns and violent clashes between rival factions, prompting the governor to halt the collection of levies to restore sanity ahead of the August 15 governorship election.

However, MC Oluomo, speaking through his deputy, completely rejected the ban. He boldly insisted that no state governor has the constitutional power to suspend the activities of a registered national trade union.

Davido, who has been vocal about Osun politics due to his family's involvement in the state, fired back with a blunt response.

Davido Fires Back: "MC Oluomo Wey No Fit Compose Sentence..."

Davido, who is actively involved in his uncle’s re-election campaign as the Head of Youth Mobilisation, did not take MC Oluomo’s challenge lightly, taking to his social media, the singer mocked the union leader's grammar posting:

   “MC Oluomo wey no fit compose sentence dey talk.. Kudosuuuu.”.

The post immediately went viral, sparking massive reactions across social media. While many fans found the shade hilarious, some critics knocked the singer for disrespecting the union boss.

"Look Ur Mirror"

Refusing to back down, Davido returned to his Instagram Story on Monday evening to drop another subtle but heavy jab. Questioning MC Oluomo’s alleged involvement in the political thuggery happening in Osun State against Governor Adeleke’s administration, Davido wrote:

       “@kingmcoluomo dem say u Dey game… I doubt lol look ur mirror.”

With the Osun State governorship election just weeks away, political tensions are at an all-time high, and Davido is making it crystal clear that he will use his massive platform to defend his family's administration.

Political Tension Resurfaces

Davido has never hidden his support for his uncle, Governor Ademola Adeleke, and has frequently spoken out on political issues affecting Osun State.

His latest response to MC Oluomo has reignited conversations about politics, transportation unions, and the ongoing disagreements surrounding the NURTW in the state.

Social Media Reacts
As expected, Nigerians flooded social media with mixed reactions.

While some users applauded Davido for speaking his mind, others argued that celebrities should avoid political confrontations.

The debate continues to trend online as both supporters and critics weigh in on the exchange.

What do you think about this clash?
Was Davido right to publicly mock MC Oluomo, or should the singer stay out of union politics? And who do you think is right about the NURTW ban—Governor Adeleke or MC Oluomo?
