Osun State’s ruling APC and the state House of Assembly are in dispute over a proposed bill that would regulate motor park activities through an Integrated Transport, Traffic and Park Management System. The APC rejects the bill, arguing it is unconstitutional and that it cannot be implemented.
Premium Times reports that the APC says the Nigerian Constitution places responsibility for establishing, maintaining and regulating motor parks with local government councils, not the state legislature. Other reporting from The Punch describes the disagreement as a constitutional challenge between the APC and lawmakers in the House of Assembly. The outlets broadly agree the contention centres on whether the state can validly legislate for motor park management under the existing constitutional division of roles.
