A new Chairman of the Park Management System (PMS) in Oyo State has been appointed following the sack of Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, aka Auxiliary.
He is Alhaji Oluwatomiwa Omolewa, a former Secretary of the PMS in the state.
The governor, made the announcement in a statement issued on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Mr. Sulaimon Olanrewaju.
According to the statement, Alhaji Kasali Ajisafe Lawal, aka Baba Bola is to serve as the secretary.
“The appointment is part of the reorganization of the PMS embarked upon by the state government,” the statement added.
Earlier on Sunday during a thanksgiving service to commemorate his Omituntun 2.0, held at the Cathedral of St. Peter, Aremo, Ibadan, Governor Seyi Makinde broke silence on why he sacked PMS boss, saying there can’t be two governments in a state.
The governor said he wielded the big stick by dissolving PMS, saying no meaningful activity can take place in an atmosphere of insecurity.
But Makinde, while speaking at the thanksgiving service, assured government would do all necessary reforms in PMS to ensure those fomenting trouble were engaged.
The governor said, “Before the last election, it wasn’t as if there is no thugs but we called them and told them the new Oyo State we want. We don’t want them to fight themselves, we don’t want fight to break from our garages every time.”
“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.”
The governor said it took the grace of God for all his achievements in his first term.
He noted that the most important thing in Omituntun 2.0 is the upgrade of condition of the people, saying government shall do everything possible to make the upgrade is seamless and provide atmosphere for people to comply.
Recall that, Makinde, through his ex-Chief of Staff, Segun Ogunwuyi, last Tuesday, announced dissolution of the PMS headed by the former NURTW boss.
Oyo Police Command on the other hand, declared Auxiliary wanted in connection with cases of attempted murder, causing grievous harm, arms dealing, murder, armed robbery within Oyo state and kidnapping at Oke-Ogun and Ibarapa axis of the State.
