Governor Makinde Explains Why He Sacked Auxiliary as PMS Boss

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has revealed the reason behind the sacking of the former Chairman of the Park Management System (PMS) in the state, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, popularly known as Auxiliary.

He said he sacked him because he could not work with others and wanted to run a parallel government in the state.

He made this disclosure during a thanksgiving service held on Sunday at the Cathedral of St. Peter, Aremo, Ibadan to celebrate his re-election.

On Tuesday, the governor had announced the dissolution of the PMS headed by the former NURTW boss and on Sunday appointed the former secretary of the disbanded PMS, Oluwatomiwa Omolewa as the new chairman.

Following the dissolution, Oyo Police Command declared Auxiliary wanted in connection with cases of attempted murder, causing grievous harm, arms dealing, murder, and armed robbery within the state.

While speaking at the thanksgiving service, Makinde assured the people that the government would reform the PMS to ensure peace and order in the state. He said he had called on the former PMS members before the election and told them to work together and avoid violence.

He said, “We told them, don’t fight anybody. If we are re-elected, we shall ensure we unite you so that everyone can get what belongs to him or her for people and the government to operate in the atmosphere of peace.”

“But one of them said he can’t work with others. So I said two governments cannot operate in the state, there will only be one government.”
