Kazeem Oyewale, popularly known as Asiri Eniba, has announced his return to the Osun State headquarters of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Osogbo, days after the state government ordered rival transport union groups to vacate motor parks following a fatal leadership dispute.

Oyewale, who leads a faction of the union, announced his return in a video posted on Saturday, September 19, 2026.

In the video, he was seen alongside supporters at the union's secretariat, where he declared that he had resumed his position as chairman.

His announcement comes amid an unresolved dispute over the leadership and operation of the transport union in Osun State.

On September 13, Governor Ademola Adeleke directed rival groups to leave motor parks after the killing of Olalekan Oyeyemi, popularly known as Ajagungbade Emir, during violence linked to a garage leadership dispute in Ile-Ife.

The governor also ordered security agencies to restore order and announced plans to reintroduce a Park Management System across the state.

According to a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, the government instructed the Commissioner of Police to ensure that those responsible for the killing were arrested and brought to justice.

The government's directive was intended to prevent further violence at motor parks and restore public safety while the leadership dispute remained unresolved.

Oyewale's latest announcement has raised questions about the status of that directive and who is authorised to manage the union's facilities.

However, his appearance at the Osogbo secretariat does not, by itself, establish that the state government has withdrawn its order or formally recognised his leadership.

The state government had not issued a public response to the September 19 announcement in the reports available at the time of this review.

The Osun NURTW has experienced repeated leadership disputes involving rival factions seeking control of motor parks and the union's state administration.

Earlier clashes disrupted commercial activities and prompted interventions by the police and state authorities.

The latest development places renewed attention on whether the competing groups can operate without further confrontation and how the government's proposed Park Management System will be implemented.

A formal response from the state government, the police or the union's national leadership would help clarify the status of the Osogbo secretariat and the restrictions affecting motor parks across Osun State.
