Following the crisis that has rocked the Auto Spare Parts and Machinery Dealers Association, where the caretaker committee, chaired by Sir Sunday Igbanuzue, failed to conduct elections for new executive officers 15 months after they were constituted, the Lagos State Government has reconstituted a fresh committee for the association.

A statement by the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), explained that the decision was in compliance with a judgment of the state High Court in a suit marked LD/2588/TCM/18 and another judgment by the Court of Appeal in case marked CA/L/2513/2018.
Onigbanjo decried the build-up of tension and threat to security occasioned by the state of affairs in ASPMDA despite the caretaker committee instituted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in June 2020 to immediately conduct elections for new executive officers of ASPMDA for prevention of breach of law and order in the market.
He said, “Consequently, Mr Governor has directed the immediate dissolution of the caretaker committee constituted by the state government in June 2020 and chaired by Sir Sunday Igbanuzue.
“Another interim committee has, therefore, been constituted with Chief Anthony Ughagwu as Chairman; Mr Dozie Ezeugo as Secretary and Mr Jonah Aneke as Chief Security Officer with a mandate to hold elections within 45 days of their appointment and supervision by representatives of the state government.”
