The Park Management System (PMS) in Oyo State has denied the involvement of any of its members or the Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi well known as Auxiliary in an alleged attack of APC members who were on a rally in the state on Tuesday.
Members of APC and supporters had stormed major streets of Ibadan, the Oyo state capital to show solidarity and support for the Tinubu/Shettima presidential bid at the forthcoming general elections.
Oyo State APC governorship candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin, Senator Balogun, State Chairman, Isaac Omodewu, party leaders, party flagbearers for various elective positions participated in the walk which started and terminated at the Oke Ado party Secretariat.
The Public Relations Officer of PMS, Mr Emiola Jelili made the denial in a statement when contacted.
He said Auxiliary was not at the scene of the incident nor attacked anybody who are exercising their constitutional rights.
Jelili accused the APC of being in the habit of pointing accusing fingers at the PMS and Auxiliary anytime the party is rocked with any issue or crisis in tge state.
Noting that the PMS is committed to maintaining peace, order and facing its primary duties of running the park system in Oyo state, the PMS Spokesperson urged the opposition APC in the state to stop drawing Alhaji Auxiliary into its internal crisis and affairs.
The statement reads in parts “The news reaching my desk is that members of the Opposition APC in Oyo state that organized a rally today (Tuesday) and walked across major roads in Ibadan have raised an allegation that they were attacked by PMS Disciplinary Committee Chairman- Alhaji Mukaila Auxiliary and his boys around Labiran.
“The PMS would like to state in unequivocal terms that nothing of such nature happened and Alhaji Auxiliary was not in Labiran or around the area at that moment.
“It should be noted that the PMS members had no reason to attack or interfere with members of the opposition APC today because they were exercising their constitutional right to organize rally and walk across the town.
“The PMS is reiterating for the umpteenth time that the opposition APC should stop drawing Alhaji Auxiliary into its internal crisis and affairs. They should keep his name off their mouths.
“And it has also come to the habit of the APC in Oyo state to always mention Auxiliary everytime they have any outing or event just to tarnish his image.”
He said further “Auxillary has his own life to live, Oyo APC should keep his name off the lips and face the campaign.
“Lastly, the PMS is committed to maintaining peace, order and facing its primary duties of running the park system in Oyo state.”
