Some of the supporters were said to have been injured during the attack which loyalists of the APC blamed on the Chairman, Park Management System, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, aka Auxiliary, and his boys.
The opposition party in the state had staged a rally from their secretariat at Oke Ado area of Ibadan and were moving towards Oje area.
Some of the supporters were said to have been injured during the attack, with many accusing the PDP and the Chairman, Park Management System, Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi, aka Auxiliary, and his boys.
The APC is said to have organised the rally to drum up support for its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; the state governorship candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin, and other candidates in the state.
He said Auxiliary attacked the procession from behind aware that the candidates of the party, who were also among the crowd, were at the front.
The statement read in part, “I’ve just been informed that Makinde’s thugs, led by the notorious Auxiliary, have launched coordinated attacks on our members and support groups.
“Auxiliary personally led the attacks at Iyana Labiran en route Oje in Ibadan. As peace-loving and law-abiding citizens, we won’t take the law into our own hands.
“Not minding the deadly attacks on our members by Makinde’s agents of darkness, we’re continuing our walk for Tinubu /Shettima. The injured members are receiving treatments at an undisclosed hospital.”
However, Auxiliary, when contacted through the Public Relations of the Park Management System, Emiola Jelili, debunked the allegation.
