Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1, has brought National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) President Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, and Lagos State union chairman Mustapha Adekunle, popularly called Tafa Sego, together for a reconciliation meeting after years of disagreement.
The reconciliation took place on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at Ojusagbola in Ijebu, Ogun State, with several transport union officials in attendance.
The meeting came less than nine months after tensions between the two leaders' camps resurfaced publicly at KWAM 1's New Year All White Party in Lagos.
The musician's digital media team announced the latest development on Tuesday, sharing photographs of the gathering and confirming that both men had agreed to put their longstanding disagreement behind them.
The reconciliation was also confirmed by KWAM 1's media aide, Kunle Rasheed, who explained that the public meeting followed a series of private discussions involving the musician and the two transport union leaders.
According to Rasheed, KWAM 1 had spoken separately with MC Oluomo and Tafa Sego before arranging the meeting in Ogun State.
The musician reportedly believed that bringing the two men together without first addressing their grievances privately would not have been sufficient to resolve a disagreement that had lasted for years.
At the meeting, both men discussed their differences before exchanging handshakes and embracing in the presence of other union figures.
The gesture marked a public reconciliation between the former allies, who have occupied prominent positions within the Lagos transport union.
But the development carries additional significance because of an incident at KWAM 1's own event earlier this year.
On January 2, 2026, the Fuji musician hosted his New Year All White Party in Lagos, where he publicly acknowledged MC Oluomo as the national leader of the NURTW.
The acknowledgement reportedly triggered objections from individuals associated with Tafa Sego's camp, leading to a commotion at the gathering.
Videos from the event circulated online, drawing public attention to the disagreement between the two union leaders.
KWAM 1 subsequently appealed for unity among the transport union figures.
Months after that public disagreement, the musician has now brought MC Oluomo and Tafa Sego together at a meeting intended to end their longstanding rift.
The two men were previously allies within the Lagos chapter of the NURTW, but their relationship deteriorated amid disagreements over leadership, influence and competing loyalties within the organisation.
Their differences became part of the wider leadership tensions affecting the transport union in Lagos.
MC Oluomo stepped aside from the Lagos NURTW chairmanship in January 2024 following a period of disagreement over the union's leadership arrangements.
He subsequently became the union's national president, while Tafa Sego assumed a prominent leadership position in the Lagos chapter.
The disagreement between their camps continued to attract public attention, including during the incident at KWAM 1's January event.
The latest reconciliation, however, did not begin with Tuesday's public gathering.
According to KWAM 1's media aide, the musician had already held separate discussions with both leaders before deciding that the time was appropriate for a joint meeting.
Rasheed said the musician's longstanding relationship with both men helped facilitate the discussions.
KWAM 1 was also said to have expressed concern that the disagreement had begun creating tensions beyond the two individuals directly involved.
His intervention was therefore intended to address their differences and encourage cooperation between the former allies.
Senior members of Team Lagos, which the musician's media aide said had evolved into Team Nigeria, were among those present at the reconciliation meeting.
Rasheed described the atmosphere as relaxed, saying both men were able to speak openly about their grievances before agreeing to move past the disagreement.
The musician's media team subsequently presented the meeting as the conclusion of the longstanding dispute.
However, the public reconciliation does not, by itself, establish that every organisational disagreement or competing interest within the NURTW has been resolved.
No separate announcement concerning changes to the union's leadership structure or administrative arrangements was established in the reports reviewed.
For now, the confirmed development is that MC Oluomo and Tafa Sego have publicly reconciled following KWAM 1's intervention.
The meeting also marks an unexpected turn in a dispute that had generated public controversy at the Fuji musician's own event earlier in the year.
After a January party that brought their disagreement back into public view, KWAM 1 has now hosted the reconciliation that both men say will put their differences behind them.
