The Osun State chapter of the Accord Party has made serious allegations against MC Oluomo, a factional National Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers, and certain elements within the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress. According to the party, these individuals are plotting to take over motor parks in the state, which could lead to another round of violence and a breakdown of law and order.
The party specifically mentioned MC Oluomo as the mastermind of the violent plot, using his surrogate, Asirii Eniba, and certain disgruntled elements within the state APC. The party recalled that MC Oluomo had illegally issued a new certificate of leadership to Asiri Eniba at a time when the tenure of the incumbent executive had yet to lapse. This move is seen as an attempt to foment another round of violence across the motor parks.
The Accord Party warned that MC Oluomo will be held accountable for any breakdown of law and order in the state. The party also called on the Presidency and the Inspector General of Police to call MC Oluomo to order. The party's statement comes amid reports of violence and factional warfare in the motor parks, which has led to the killing of Mr. Lekan Ajagungbade.
Governor Adeleke has taken steps to address the crisis by suspending the operations of NURTW across the motor parks and announcing the imminent creation of a state park management system. The party commended the governor for his decision, which is designed to stop factional warfare in the wake of the killing of Mr. Lekan Ajagungbade. The party also expressed support for the creation of a park management system, which the governor will announce in due course.
The party strongly frowned at the illegal and violent activities of Mr. Asiri Eniba, supported by MC Oluomo, which it described as a remnant of pre-election violence in Osun state. The party charged the Commissioner of Police and other security agencies to enforce the directive of the governor that all NURTW factions should vacate the motor parks. The security agencies are also enjoined to immediately secure all the motor parks to prevent any factional takeover.
The Commissioner of Police has been commended for his intervention to maintain peace in the state. The party urged him and other security agencies to continue to work to prevent another round of factional NURTW warfare in Osun state. The party's statement has added to the growing concerns about the security situation in the state and the need for swift action to prevent further violence.
