The Concerned Youths of Osun State, has called on the security to apprehend and prosecute some chieftains of the Osun State Transport Management System, who allegedly invaded the secretariat of the group to protest against the leadership of the chairman of the union, Nurudeen Wakili popularly known as Alowonle.
The first group also urged the state government to curtail the actions of the OSTMS chieftains before their actions lead to civil unrest which can disrupt the peace of the state.
The group alleged that the chieftains invaded the state council of the OSTMS and destroyed valuables belonging to the organization and those of the chairman.
The group in a statement on Wednesday, said anyone found culpable of disrupting the peace of the state should be prosecuted by the law.
The group added that since Alowonle assumed the mantle of leadership of the transport union, there has not been any chaos until yesterday.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to a video making rounds on the internet depicting some unscrupulous touts and clout chasers parading themselves as chieftains and members of the Osun State Transport Management System (OSTMS) while protesting vehemently against the leadership of the chairman of the OSTMS, Nurudeen Alowonle.
“The running and administration of the OSTMS has been nothing short of smooth and peaceful since the emergence of Nurudeen Alowonle, in fact, the efficiency with which he has been running the service is being loudly applauded throughout the state.
“Hence, with our dear state enjoying a peaceful reign of our governor, Asiwaju (Dr.) Ademola Nurudeen Jackson Adeleke, since the inception of his administration, it is observed that these individuals are out to cause chaos and disrupt the hard-earned peace which the government is doing so much to maintain and protect.
“We, the Concerned Youths of Osun State, therefore call on our amiable governor and the concerned authorities to curtail their action before it leads to civil unrest thereby disrupting the peace of the state as they have already begun to cause havoc by going to the state council of the OSTMS and destroying valuables belonging to the organization and those of the chairman.
“We also call on various security operatives in the state charged with protection of life and public properties to prosecute these wannabe criminals and bring them to book so as to serve as a deterrent to anyone out there who might be thinking about creating unnecessary problems for the peace-loving people of Osun state.”
