The Lagos State Government has reconstituted the interim Caretaker Committee for the Auto Spare Parts & Machinery Dealers Association (ASPMDA) in compliance with the judgments of the High Court of Lagos State.
A statement issued by the Lagos State Attorney-General and
Commissioner for Justice, Moyosore Onigbanjo, said that the decision is
in compliance with the Court judgements.
He decried the build-up of tension and threat to security occasioned by
the state of affairs in ASPMDA despite the Interim Caretaker Committee
instituted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in June 2020 to
immediately conduct elections for new Executive Officers of ASPMDA
for prevention of breach of law and order in the market.
Onigbanjo noted that 15 months after constituting the Interim Caretaker
Committee, chaired by Sir. Sunday Igbanuzue, it has failed to conduct
elections for new Executive Officers of ASPMDA.
Pointing out that the Committee failed to conduct elections within
30days of their appointment as directed by Governor Sanwo-Olu, the
Attorney-General stated that intense agitation and discontent has trailed
the disobedient action of the Committee and threatened the peace, law
and order in ASPAMDA.
