In a petition signed by the YGA Chairman, Adediran Raymond, the group accused the minister of contravening federal regulations that prohibit public officials from engaging in private business activities. The petition alleges that Minister Badaru continues to hold directorship positions in multiple private companies despite his official role.

The YGA further demanded an inquiry to determine whether the minister disclosed his business interests as required by law in his asset declaration. The group argues that maintaining such private affiliations while holding a public office demonstrates a blatant disregard for legal and ethical standards.

As of the time of reporting, neither the minister nor his representatives have issued a response to the allegations. Additionally, both the EFCC and ICPC have yet to release official statements regarding the petition.

VIOLENCE MUST END! ALGON Takes Radical Step To Restore Peace By Banning Transport Unions Across Osun!.

Published

on

The Osun State chapter of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) has suspended the operations of all transport unions within public motor parks across the state. This measure was taken in response to a series of violent clashes between rival groups, which the association deemed necessary to maintain public order and protect residents.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Rationale for Suspension: The action follows repeated violent incidents involving factional disputes within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), which resulted in the death of a toddler and the shooting of an elderly man.

  • Safety Concerns: ALGON Vice Chairman, Lanre Balogun, noted that public motor parks had increasingly become unsafe for commuters and operators, turning into hideouts for criminals.

  • Immediate Directive: Effective immediately, all transport unions—including motorcycle and tricycle operators—are prohibited from activities in public motor parks across the state’s 30 local government areas and the Ife East Area Office in Modakeke.

  • Security Measures: ALGON has requested that security agencies take control of these facilities to restore peace and track down individuals involved in the violence, specifically calling for the arrest of NURTW factional leader Nurudeen Alowonle.

  • Legal Basis: Balogun explained that the decision is supported by the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which grants local governments the authority to regulate motor parks and maintain public order. He emphasized that local government chairmen would not allow facilities under their control to become security threats, even if other authorities prioritize political considerations over safety.

The suspension will remain in effect until order is restored and public safety is ensured within the state’s transport sector.
