Oyo State Turning To Theatre Of Hooliganism, Thuggery, APC Chieftain, Alao Raises Alarm

An All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftain in Oyo State, Engineer Hakeem Alao has asked stakeholders in the state to prevail on Governor Seyi Makinde to be more serious with the security in the state.
The APC Chieftain  in a statement in Ibadan on Sunday entitled, “The reemergence of hooliganism and thuggery in Oyo State : Time to call Governor Seyi Makinde to order” alerted that Oyo state is gradually turning to a theatre of hooliganism and thuggery under the present administration of Governor Seyi Makinde.
Engineer Alao stressed that the people of Oyo state deserve to live in peace, hence the need for Governor Makinde to rise up and face the security challenges in and across the state, saying it was unfortunate that the peace in Oyo state which was sustained by the APC administration for eight years has continued to be shattered by the Gov Makinde led administration.
“No day passes since the governor came to office that the state was not in the news for bad thing with thuggery, hooliganism, bringadage, killings and attack on innocent citizens not only across Ibadan, the state capital but other parts of the state occurring every day”, he said.
Engr Alao added, ” it  is quite unfortunate that Governor Makinde is allowing the complete peace laboured for by all the stakeholders and enjoyed for eight years under the administration of former governor, late Senator Abiola Ajimobi, to go down the drain”, he said.
” His administration has turned the state to pace setter in exporting thuggery and hooliganism while the people have continued to live in fear. Governor Makinde has shrieked his responsibility as the Chief Security Officer by not taken any serious actions to curb the menace of thuggery and hooliganism which has become the order of the day not only in Ibadan but across other major towns in the state”.
Lamenting that Oyo state is now ” a den of criminals which specialized in exporting thugs and people of questionable characters” as recently displayed during the South West Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convention held in Osogbo, last year and last week arrest of 98 members of Park Management System (PMS), going to Ekiti State for “mercenary assignment”.
The APC Chieftain accused members of the Oyo state PMS as those behind the deliberate vandalization of his campaign billboards in parts of Ibadanland such as Total Garden round about and close to MTN Office, Yidi-Gate, as well as chasing away of the workers engaged to mount the billboards were not only chased away but also attacked and sustained various degrees of injury.
” The activities of members of the state PMS exhibited in Osogbo last year and the recent one in Ekiti State, are uncalled for and not good for the image of the state.The failure of the governor to rein in these street urchins and hoodlums who many believed are his creation and who have taken over the state is nothing but a failure on his part and incompetence of his government.”
He however charged  stakeholders in the state ” to appeal to Governor Makinde to stop the menace and return the state to its pace setter status of what is good and noble, said the government has a duty to allow the  people of the state sleep with their two eyes closed.” 
Specifically, the APC Chieftain urged Governor Makinde to let Oyo state achieve peace as defined by the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, in 1970, while delivering a lecture, calling for  a positive state of quiet and tranquility devoid of inter- ethic and inter tribal disharmony, hooliganism, thuggery and brigandage .
