Veteran Nollywood actress Fausat Balogun, widely known by her stage name Madam Saje, has stirred emotions online following a public display of affection for the president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called MC Oluomo.
A Motherly Embrace Goes Viral
On her official Instagram page, the respected Yoruba film star posted a touching video clip from a recent high-profile event. The footage, which has since gone viral, captured the moment of a warm reunion between Balogun and the transport union leader. In the video, the actress is seen embracing MC Oluomo in a heartfelt, motherly manner, with popular actor Lege Miami also present in the scene.
Accompanying the visual, Fausat Balogun penned a heartfelt caption where she openly reaffirmed her deep affection and steadfast support for MC Oluomo. She affectionately described him as her "forever son" and showered him with praises. The actress also extended greetings to her followers, wished them a pleasant weekend, and tagged a jewelry brand she was adorned with at the gathering.
History of Support and Past Controversies
This public endorsement did not come as a shock to many of her followers, as the veteran actress has a documented history of vocal admiration for the NURTW boss. In a previous social media post, she had referred to him as her darling son, thanking him for being a responsible father figure and offering prayers for his continued success and safety.
However, her unwavering support has not always been met with universal approval. Balogun previously faced significant backlash from a section of social media users after she involved herself in the highly publicized feud between MC Oluomo and his former associate, Koko Zaria. The criticism erupted when she reshared a video of Koko Zaria declaring support for another figure while praising MC Oluomo.
Mixed Reactions Flood Social Media
The latest post has once again ignited a flurry of mixed reactions online, with fans and critics swiftly weighing in on the emotional display. While many celebrated the touching mother-son dynamic, others expressed divergent views.
The comment section under her post was filled with reactions from supporters. User oluwayemisijayeola commented with heart emojis, saying "My darling sister." Another user, _olorionigbanjo_001, wrote, "My Evergreen mama," accompanied by loving emojis. iam_yeyeoganla referred to Balogun as "My worldbest Mum" and MC Oluomo as "my lovely daddy."
Other followers like bilquismopelolajayeola and kenzyherbals also poured out affectionate messages, calling her a beautiful mother and a good grandmother. However, not all comments were adulatory. User swee_tboy1962 left a cryptic remark stating, "MC old mama.grand mother girl friend," hinting at the underlying criticisms that often accompany such public alliances.
This reunion occurs against a backdrop of ongoing tensions within the NURTW. Legit.ng had previously reported on a dramatic incident at KWAM 1's New Year All White Party in Lagos, where a video captured chaos erupting. Members reportedly affiliated with the Mustapha Sego faction expressed visible displeasure when the Fuji music star publicly acknowledged MC Oluomo as the head of the NURTW.
The enduring bond between Fausat Balogun and MC Oluomo continues to be a point of public fascination, blending personal affection with the complex landscape of Nigerian popular culture and union politics.
