Ajimobi’s election: Managers desert motor parks

Some park managers appointed by the outgoing government in Oyo State have resigned their appointments, just as others have deserted the parks.

Nigerian Tribune learnt that the park managers, who were appointed at the peak of the leadership crisis in the state chapter of the proscribed National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), had left their duty posts following the election of opposition candidate, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, in the last gubernatorial election in the state.

At most of the motor parks visited in Ibadan on Monday, there were indications that most of the park managers were not on duty.

Investigation revealed that most of them left for fear of being attacked by members of the factional leader, Alhaji Akinsola Oloruntoki, also known as Tokyo.

A source at the popular Iwo interchange garage told the Nigerian Tribune that since last Tuesday, when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Senator Ajimobi as the winner of the election, most of them had stayed away.

It was further gathered that most of them left the parks without any official notice, while others decided to put in their resignation letters.

At the Agbowo garage, on the Ojoo-Iwo road, there was crisis over who controlled the park.
