On his first day in office in 2019, the governor of Oyo State Seyi Makinde suspended the activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and introduced the Park Management System (PMS). Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, also known as Auxiliary, was appointed chairman of its Disciplinary Committee, the highest decision-making body in PMS. Shortly after the PMS was set up, many residents of the State had reasons to lodge fundamental rights violation complaints against Lamidi.

Shortly after the PMS was set up, many residents of the State had reasons to lodge fundamental rights violation complaints against Lamidi. In response to the video, the All Progressives Congress, APC issued a statement, pointing out that Lamidi and Governor Makinde should be held responsible if harm befell the APC gubernatorial candidate.
“However, during the gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections, his influence in the Park Management of Ọ̀yo State is a big one. He and his men may pose a very serious danger on the level of turnouts. He should be neutralized before the local elections,” Ladigbolu added. Olayiwola added that “I don’t like to be a prophet of doom that violence is imminent. Already, we have situations around where candidates’ banners are being torn. We are witnesses to the procession of the PMS boss in Ibadan with clear disregard to the traffic and other road users. We see the grandstanding every day informing the public of another era of political violence since 2010.”
“If you look at elections in Oyo State, since the time of Ladoja, Baba Adedibu, Alao Akala, and Ajimobi. Elections in Oyo State and Southwest are usually tough. Political parties always trying to use the leaders of thugs against themselves. I’m afraid this time around as well, without labeling the chairman of the Park Management System, he is not the only one, and we all know a member of an opposition party is always proud to say he’s controlling thugs,” Olasupo said.
“The late Ramon was never a cultist. He was never involved in an argument with anyone. If you go to police stations in the state, you cannot find his record there. The complex vandalized was his mother’s complex. We are amazed that Makinde could come out and call him a cultist. We want the governor to come out and retract the statement. He was a devoted Muslim and never belonged to any cult group.
