Nigerian actress Iyabo Ojo has stirred mixed reactions after congratulating Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, on his appointment as the President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). Despite their public disagreement during the 2023 presidential election—where Iyabo Ojo supported Peter Obi of the Labour Party and MC Oluomo backed Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the APC—the actress took to Instagram to celebrate her friend’s achievement.
In her post, Iyabo Ojo shared a photo of MC Oluomo in his new office in Abuja, accompanied by a heartfelt message wishing him success in his new role. The gesture has sparked a range of reactions from fans, with some praising her for setting aside political differences, while others questioned her decision to publicly support someone with whom she had political disagreements. Despite the controversy, Iyabo Ojo reiterated that MC Oluomo remains a close friend, highlighting the importance of personal relationships beyond politics.
