The National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) national president, MC Oluomo, has stirred fresh online debate after sharing an old video of singer Segun Johnson's live performance on his Instagram story. The post, made on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, appears to be a subtle response to Afrobeats star Davido's recent jab at the transport union chief.
Cryptic Response to Davido's Jab
The video clip, which MC Oluomo shared without any caption, shows him dancing energetically at an event while Segun Johnson performs. The singer's lyrics include the lines: "Won ti ge mi leti lo awa o gbo nkan nkan, dem say, dem say, you say, dem say." This move comes just a day after Davido publicly criticized MC Oluomo in an Instagram story post on Monday, July 27, 2026.
Davido, who had waded into the simmering dispute between MC Oluomo and his uncle, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, addressed the NURTW president directly in pidgin English. "@kingmcoluomo dem say u Dey game ... I doubt lol look ur mirror," the singer wrote, sparking widespread reactions among fans and political observers.
Election Context Heats Up Feud
The exchange comes just days before the Osun State gubernatorial election scheduled for August 15, 2026. Governor Adeleke, who is seeking re-election, had earlier taken steps against the NURTW in the state, leading to tensions between the transport union and the state government. MC Oluomo's video post is widely interpreted as a rejoinder to Davido's comment, though the NURTW chief has not publicly addressed the speculation.
Social media users have been divided over the intent of MC Oluomo's post. Some view it as a harmless piece of entertainment, while others see it as a calculated move to dismiss Davido's criticism. The video has garnered significant attention, with many noting the timing suggests a deliberate message.
Background of the Dispute
The friction between MC Oluomo and the Adeleke administration is not new. Governor Adeleke, who is Davido's uncle, has been at odds with the NURTW over the union's activities in Osun State. The governor's efforts to restructure transport operations have been met with resistance from the union, creating a backdrop of political rivalry. Davido's intervention on behalf of his uncle has added a celebrity dimension to the conflict.
According to Legit.ng, this is not the first time MC Oluomo has used social media to address his critics. The NURTW president is known for his active online presence and often shares content that generates discussion among his followers. The current exchange, however, has drawn more attention due to the involvement of a global music star.
Public Reaction and Implications
Political analysts suggest that the feud could influence voter sentiment in the upcoming election, especially among younger demographics who follow both Davido and MC Oluomo. The transport union wields significant influence in local politics, and any public rift with the governor's camp could have ramifications at the polls.
Meanwhile, fans of both personalities have taken to various platforms to express their opinions. Some have called for reconciliation, while others have stoked the flames with memes and commentary. The impact of this celebrity-politics crossover remains to be seen as election day approaches.
In a related development, Davido's baby mama, Sophia Momodu, also made headlines by appearing to take a swipe at the singer during a live session. She claimed sole responsibility for their daughter Imade's needs, stating: "Na only me my pikin get, nor be audio money. If bill come now from up, down, na me go settle am. Una know as e dey go. Make una leave all these audio money." This adds another layer to the public drama surrounding the music star.
As the Osun gubernatorial election draws near, all eyes are on how these personal and political tensions will unfold. MC Oluomo's cryptic video may be just one more chapter in an ongoing saga that blends entertainment with governance.
