Osun State Government has thrown its weight behind Comrade Wakeel Nurudeen Alowonle led leadership of the Osun State Transport Management System(OSTMS).
It maintained that, at no time did it recognize any other body to manage motor parks in the state, except Alowolen's.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Hon. Sesan Oyedele and made available to newsmen in Osogbo on Saturday.
Hon. Oyedele in the statement dismissed as outright lies and hearsays the rumors making the rounds that another group different from the OSTMS are planning to dislodge the present management and cause mayhem in the State.
The statement emphasized that anyone or group found culpable of destabilizing the existing peaceful and orderly management of the motor parks throughout the state would be made to face the music.
The Commissioner stated further that the Ademola Adeleke administration decided to create the Osun State Transport Management System(OSTMS) to bring sanity to the sector and improve revenue generation which,he acknowledged,has started yielding the desired fruits.
The statement reads in parts, "This is to inform the general public, particularly commercial vehicle drivers in Osun State, that the only recognised body/group approved by government to oversee the activities of motor parks and commercial drivers in Osun State still remains the Osun State Transport Management System(OSTMS) headed by Comrade Wakil Nurudeen Alowonle, A.K.A, OLA MUMMY.
"No other association or body has been given the permission to take over from the OSTMS. The State government hereby warns any other association or group to desist from plans to take over from the Osun State Transport Management System(OSTMS) or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.
"Anybody or group attempting to distrupt the peace that exists in the Osun State Transport Sector will be severely dealt with as government will not fold its arms to allow some unscrupulous individuals to distrupt the peace and progress that the State is witnessing under Senator Ademola Adeleke". Oyedele stated.
