As the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oyo State chapter holds its governorship Primaries tomorrow, Wednesday 25th of May, the Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA) has issued a traffic advisory to members of the public who may wish to use the Lekan Salami Stadium/Dugbe axis of Ibadan, the state capital.

The Agency maintained that the advisory became imperative in order to ensure orderliness and reduce the stress of teeming road users along the axis and within the period the event which is billed to commence at 8.00 a.m. would last.

A press statement by the Executive Chairman of the Authority, Mogaji Akin Fagbemi says the step was sequel to a joint security/traffic management meeting held today by security agencies in Oyo State including the Police, DSS, Amotekun Corps, FRSC, NSCDC, Operation Burst and OYRTMA.

Dr. Fagbemi added: “By this notice, we implore members of the public to kindly note the likelihood of a relatively high volume of traffic in and around the Adamasingba axis of Ibadan metropolis because of the gubernatorial primaries of the PDP which we expect to draw a huge traffic flow to the area.

The OYRTMA boss sternly warned motorists to avoid indiscriminate parking along the Mokola-Dugbe, Danax Pharmacy-Sabo and Queen Cinema-Recreation Club axes, saying any defaulters would face the music.

“Any vehicle seen haphazardly parked along Mokola-Dugbe axis, Danax-Sabo, Queen Cinema-Recreation Club would be impounded and penalized for obstruction of traffic.

“Therefore, we beseech the motoring public to cooperate with our officers and other relevant security agencies as we shall be on continuous patrol to ensure a free and seamless traffic situation. “We regret the inconveniences this might cause some motorists, but we shall do all within our means to bring the impact to its barest minimum,” Dr. Fagbemi concluded.
