A fresh leadership controversy is brewing in Mushin, Lagos, following comments allegedly made by Lagos State NURTW Chairman, Alhaji Mustapha Adekunle, popularly known as Sego.
The controversy began during the transport boss' condolence visit to the family of the late Mushin community leader, Alhaji Taoreed Faronbi, popularly known as Baba Alado.

According to reports, Sego claimed that the late community leader had given him the authority to determine or appoint the next Olori, or number-one man, in Mushin.
For many residents and community leaders, that claim went beyond a condolence visit.
‘You cannot decide for Mushin’- Residents
The declaration was rejected by local figures, including a prominent community leader known as Amode.
They maintained that the leadership of Mushin is an internal community matter and questioned why an individual associated with a transport union should have the power to decide who leads the area.
The disagreement has since fuelled concerns among residents who do not want a leadership dispute to become another source of tension.
