Some supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State were reportedly injured in Ibadan during a campaign rally by the party on Tuesday.

The APC which is opposition party in the state had staged a rally from their secretariat at Oke Ado area of Ibadan and were moving towards Oje area.

The rally was organised to drum support for the presidential candidate of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; the Oyo State gubernatorial candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin and other candidates in the state towards the 2023 general elections.

The attack on the APC rally was however blamed on Mukaila Lamidi aka Auxiliary.

Auxiliary is the Chairman Park Management System in Oyo State.

They maintained that Auxiliary and his men had attacked the procession when information for to him about the candidates of the party that was among the crowd gathered during the rally.

When contacted, Auxiliary through the spokesperson of the Park Management System, Emiola Jelili, debunked the allegation.

Jelili said the allegation was aimed at tarnishing the image of their chairman.

"The news reaching my desk is that members of the opposition APC in Oyo State that organised a rally today and walked across major roads in Ibadan have raised an allegation that they were attacked by the PMS Disciplinary Committee Chairman, Alhaji Mukaila Auxiliary, and his boys around Labiran.

“The PMS will like to state in unequivocal terms that nothing of such 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 organise 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 every time they have any outing or event just to tarnish his image.”
