The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has opposed a proposed bill covering integrated transport, traffic and park management. The party described the measure as unconstitutional and said it would not succeed, while the Osun State House of Assembly has taken a different position on the legislation.

The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has rejected a proposed law intended to regulate transport, traffic and motor park activities in the state. The measure, titled the Integrated Transport, Traffic and Park Management System Bill, has created a disagreement between the party and the Osun State House of Assembly, according to Punch Nigeria. The APC described the bill as unconstitutional.

It also said the legislation was “dead on arrival”, signalling that the party does not expect it to become effective in its current form. The available report does not provide the assembly’s detailed response, the specific provisions challenged by the APC or the next steps in the legislative process. It establishes only that the assembly and the opposition party have taken differing positions on the proposed framework for managing transport-related activities.

The disagreement places the bill at the centre of a political dispute over how motor parks and related traffic operations should be regulated in Osun. Further details of the arguments advanced by the assembly and the party were not included in the supplied material.
