Mustapha Adekunle, popularly known as Sego, Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Lagos State, has denied making political threats after a viral video showed him vowing to punish residents who fail to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections.

The video, which drew widespread condemnation, showed Sego warning that a repeat of the 2023 presidential election would not be allowed in 2027 and that all Lagos residents must vote for the APC.
His comments provoked outrage, with many accusing him of attempting to intimidate more than 20 million citizens.
Several critics called for his arrest, insisting that democracy cannot be reduced to threats by union leaders.
In a separate video, Sego dismissed the allegations, describing them as propaganda.
He confirmed that he was invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) for questioning and was later released after hours of interrogation.
“This is propaganda and fake rumour. The issue I was addressing has to do with our union and not politics. My enemies are behind this and looking for my downfall. You can belong to any party, and we also know the party we are supporting,” he said.
