Osun State Governor, Sen. Ademola Adeleke has warned
transport workers in Osun State against actions and activities capable of
plunging the state into violence and lawlessness.
The Governor has also directed immediate suspension of the
Senior Special Assistant on Civil Societies, Comrade Emmanuel Adebisi, pending
outcome of investigations by the Chief of Staff to the State Governor, Hon
Kazeem Akinleye.
In a statement issued today at Osogbo, Governor Adeleke
directed the Commissioner for Transportation to again summon a reconciliatory
meeting of all the warring groups within the transport sector.
“The officials and their members should desist from
distracting Osun people from many ongoing laudable projects and delivery of
good governance.
“This administration will not condone lawlessness and acts
of violence. We must not and can not afford to return to the era of the
previous administration. Our government has zero tolerance for violence.
“Any issue within the transport management should be
resolved in line with due process. Internally Generated Revenue in Osun State
is strictly regulated within a framework of accountability and transparency
that can not be breached.
“Our government has automated revenue collection while
integrating multiple revenue points into a single billing process. Our IGR has
increased as a consequence of our innovations and zero tolerance for revenue
leakages. Diversion of revenue is a thing of the past in Osun State.
“The Commissioner for Transportation is to engage the
transport officials and reconcile all financial records. Any transport official
who engages in violence will face the full wrath of the law”, the state
Governor was quoted as saying
