Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the Lagos
State Governor Babatunde Fashola are at loggerheads following the seizure of
one of Obasanjo Farms' utility vehicles by men of the Lagos State Transport
Management Authority (LASTMA).
Sources close to Obasanjo Farms
in Ota, Ogun state explained that one of the utility vehicles allegedly
committed a traffic offence in Lagos last week and it was impounded by LASTMA.
It was gathered that all efforts
by the ex-president to ensure the release of the seized vehicle proved
abortive.
Sources also added that between
last Friday and Sunday, October 21, over 10 red-coloured LAG Bus belonging to
Lagos State Government have been forcefully diverted into the Obasanjo Farms
compound in Ota.
This action has led to scarcity
of the popular bus on Lagos-Abeokuta expressway while thousands of residents of
Sango, Ota, Ifo and other settlements along the axis have become stranded for
the second day running and this has also doubled the cost of transportation in
the area.
