The coalition party, African Democratic Congress (ADC), on Wednesday October 8, 2025, said it has submitted a petition to the Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) against the Lagos State Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Mustapha Adekunle popularly known as Sego.
It said the petition followed threats by Sego to anyone who votes against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2025.
This was coming barely two years after the former State chairman of the transport union, Musiliu Akinsanya popularly known as MC Oluomo, was captured in a video addressing his supporters to avoid voting against APC during the 2023 general elections.
On Wednesday October 8, 2025, the former Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, disclosed that ADC had submitted its petition to the police against Mustapha Adekunle following the threat.
Recently, the Department of State Services (DSS) grilled Sego for the uncouth utterances.
Rhodes-Vivour, who displayed the petition on his official Facebook page, said, “Earlier today, the ADC submitted our petition to the police against Mustapha Adekunle of the NURTW.
“We did this for the public record, so that in future it will not be said that we did not pursue civilised recourse to their aggression and intimidation.
“For over twenty-four years, the President and his Lagos APC allies have controlled this state. After more than two decades in power, they have no credible record of achievement to run on. Hence, they resort to mobilising paid or coerced gangs to stifle opposition, while their families continue to send their children abroad to enjoy the benefits of good governance elsewhere.
“Violence is the last refuge of incompetence. This Thugocracy must not stand. We are the many and they are the few. In due course, Nigerians will demonstrate that we are not cowards,” said Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
Recently, Sego was captured on camera saying, “Anyone who refuses to vote for APC or who says he has decided to vote against APC will be dealt with, the person will learn a lesson. If you say you will not listen to us, we too will not agree.”
