Musiliu Akinsanya, better known as MC Oluomo, president of the national union of road transport workers, has revealed that he is currently taking English lessons to improve his efficiency in the language.
The NURTW boss made the revelation at a political rally in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, where he addressed actor Adams Kehinde, better known as Lege Miami.
Speaking in Yoruba, the union leader said he and Lege Miami both struggle to speak English fluently, which is why he decided to enrol in classes.
“Lege, you and I have something in common because my English is also not fluent. We are both not fluent in English. But I’m working on improving my English. I’m now attending lessons,” he said.
MC Oluomo also dismissed the notion that his frequent travels should have made him fluent, stressing that his American citizenship gives him unrestricted entry into the United States.
“I travel around the world. I am a citizen of America. When I get to immigration, and they ask how many weeks I want to stay, I tell them no, this is my home. I am a US citizen; I am going home,” he stated.
He went on to praise his children, noting that they speak English better than he does.
“My children can speak better than me. My children in the US are nurses, a doctor and an engineer,” he said.
“If I get somewhere and cannot speak English well, I will give the microphone to one of my children,” he added.
The remark came over a year after MC Oluomo was mocked online in April 2025 for pronouncing “kudos” as “kundusi” during an event in Abuja.
