Maroof-deen Oshod denied this report while speaking with Punch Nigeria, he said:

“Oshodi-Tapa Chieftaincy Family is the owner and controller of Oshodi town in the Oshodi Isolo Local Government Area. We have not endorsed anybody and have not even called for candidature.

“As far as we are concerned, we call it a rumour because Musiliu Akinsanya, aka MC Olumo, who is being rumoured to want to be Oba of Oshodi, is not a member of the Oshodi-Tapa Chieftaincy Family and has no right to the stool of Oshodi town.”

An executive member of the family leadership, Dada Ashafa, said if “the social media rumour concerning MC Olumo, flies unchallenged, it becomes authentic and that explains why this family is reacting.”

Contacted, Jimoh Buari, the spokesperson for Akinsanya, said the NURTW chairman had not made any official announcement to become a traditional ruler.

“He will make his intentions known at the right time, but there is a possibility that consultations are ongoing and from the consultations, there could be a rumour,” Buari added.
