The ruling Accord party in Osun State, Nigeria, has made serious allegations against Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, and some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to the party, MC Oluomo and APC members are plotting to violently take over motor parks across the state. This alleged plot is said to be aimed at creating a statewide breakdown of law and order and fostering renewed tension within the transport sector.
The allegations were made in a statement signed by the state chairman of the Accord, Pastor Victor Akande. Akande claimed that credible reports from various motor parks identified MC Oluomo as the mastermind of the plot, using his alleged surrogate, Kazeem Oyewale, also known as Asiri Eniba. The party alleged that MC Oluomo had illegally issued a new certificate of leadership to Oyewale, despite the incumbent NURTW executive's tenure not having elapsed.
The Accord party expressed support for Governor Ademola Adeleke's decision to suspend NURTW operations across the state's motor parks and the planned establishment of a state Park Management System. The party believes that the government's action is aimed at preventing factional clashes following the killing of Mr Olalekan Oyeyemi. The party stressed the need to prevent further violence within the transport sector.
The party called on the Presidency and the Inspector-General of Police to take action against MC Oluomo, warning that he would be held accountable for any breakdown of law and order arising from the alleged activities. The Accord Party also commended the Commissioner of Police for his intervention in maintaining peace and urged security agencies to enforce the governor's directive for all NURTW factions to vacate the motor parks.
According to the Accord party, the threat of factional warfare is still present, and there is a need for the creation of a park management system. The party strongly frowns at the illegal and violent activities of Mr Asiri Eniba, supported by Mr MC Oluomo, which they see as a remnant of pre-election violence in Osun State. The party demands that these activities stop without further delay.
The allegations made by the Accord party are serious and require attention from the authorities. The party's statement highlights the need for calm and stability in the transport sector. The government's efforts to establish a Park Management System are seen as a step in the right direction.
The situation in Osun State's motor parks remains volatile, with the threat of factional clashes still present. The Accord party's allegations against MC Oluomo and APC members have added to the tension. It remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to these allegations and what actions they will take to prevent further violence.
