Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has warned against acts that can lead to chaos in motor parks across the state. The governor, who directed the state Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan, to nip the alleged plans in the bud, alleged plots by some people to destabilise the motor parks across the state. In a statement issued on Friday in Osogbo, by the spokesperson to the Governor, Olawale Rasheed, the governor alleged that “Certain individuals linked to opposition elements have concluded plans to invade motor parks across the local governments”, calling the sinister move a ploy to foist chaos on the state. Describing the plan as a threat to public order, the governor lauded the “peace and tranquillity that have prevailed at the motor parks from 2023 till date” and vowed never to allow instability and conflicts to resurface at the transport joints. He, however, said reports available to him indicated that opposition elements in the state were planning against the peace of Osun State.
