Governor Seyi Makinde brought a new dimension to the relationship between politics and the transport unions. He banned the NURTW and created the Oyo State Parks Management System (PMS).

The chairman of the Oyo State Parks Management System is Alhaji Lamidi Mukaila (aka Auxiliary). Auxiliary was a chieftain of the NURTW, but he fell out with others in the union and then Governor Makinde banned the union and made him the chairman of the Parks Management System. Auxiliary is also believed to be a political thug and an enforcer for the Oyo State Government.

Senator Teslim Folarin was a member of the PDP during the battle between Tokyo and Eleweomo, but he is now the APC candidate in the 2023 Oyo State governorship election.

At the Oyo State governorship debate, Teslim Folarin said that the creation of the Parks Management System was political and "even if you want to create such a committee, the person that they appointed as chairman is an ex-convict. What kind of message is the government trying to send by making an ex-convict the leader" ?

Governor Makinde responded to that allegation by saying, "The person that is calling someone an ex-convict, who killed Eleweomo and where's the file? It is still with me as governor of Oyo State. It is a criminal case, but I don't want to go into that now".

Teslim Folarin responded by saying, "Just because you are a governor does not give you the right to make irresponsible allegations.

If you are the governor of a state and you know who killed Eleweomo, then charge him to court. I don't think a governor should get involved in beer parlour politics".

Makinde interrupted him and said, "The file is with me".

Folarin replied, "Oya take it. Take it to court. Why haven't you taken it? I challenge you".

Background.

Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu was the godfather of Oyo politics. He passed away in 2008 and this exacerbated a crisis that he had started.

Rasheed Ladoja was "elected" governor of Oyo State through the help of Alhaji Adedibu. However, Adedibu wanted to determine who was appointed into government positions in Oyo State and this led to a dispute between him and his godson. Governor Ladoja appealed to President Obasanjo and PDP Chairman Ahmadu Ali, but they both told him to do whatever Adedibu said. Ladoja refused and this led to a very serious crisis and violence in Oyo State.

In 2006, the Oyo State House of Assembly, acting on the orders of Adedibu and Obasanjo, "impeached" Governor Ladoja and his deputy, Christopher Alao Akala became governor. Akala was loyal to Adedibu and he had become antagonistic to Governor Ladoja before his impeachment. Ladoja went to court to challenge his impeachment.

Meanwhile, Alhaji Adedibu died in 2008.

Alhaji Lateef Akinsola (a.k.a Tokyo) was the chairman of the NURTW in Oyo State and Alhaji Lateef Salako (a.k.a. Eleweomo) was his deputy. However, there had been friction between the two since 1999. Tokyo believed that Eleweomo wanted to stage a coup and take over the chairmanship from him.

The friction between Tokyo and Eleweomo led to violence on the streets of Ibadan, but this violence was kept in check by Adedibu. However, with Adedibu's death and the war between Ladoja and Akala, the violence spiralled out of control.

The Senate majority leader, Senator Teslim Folarin and former Governor Ladoja and Tokyo were grouped on one side, while Governor Alao Akala and Eleweomo were grouped on the other side.

Things came to a head at the Oyo State PDP Congress in 2010 when Eleweomo was killed in broad daylight. There were allegations that Tokyo and Senator Folarin were responsible for the murder and indeed both men were arrested by the Oyo State Police Command. They had been arraigned at a Magistrate Court in Ibadan and were being tried at the High Court, but something happened.

President Goodluck Jonathan wanted to contest the 2011 presidential election on the platform of the PDP, but former Vice President Atiku Abubakar also wanted to be the PDP presidential candidate. President Jonathan needed all the help that he could get in order to win the primary election.

Senator Teslim Folarin was qualified to be a delegate at the PDP National Convention/Presidential Primary and he would certainly vote for President Jonathan, but he was in jail in Ibadan.

Suddenly (a day before the PDP Presidential Primaries) and without the knowledge of the Oyo State Government, the police withdrew the charges against Senator Folarin. The Presidency had arranged for a private jet to wait at the Ibadan Airport and it flew Senator Teslim Folarin to Abuja so that he could vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in the primaries.

Reactions.

The kind beating GSM will give to Teslim on the march 11 eehh

Anybody that was in Ibadan then, will know that eleeweome (nurtw chairman) was killed by a political party. I was at Iwo Road then when the eleeweomo mobilized their thug from Iwo Road to Academy where he was killed in a political campaign. That day was very terrible in Ibadan then

Political touts

Bastards

Ok who win the clash did dey remove each other teeth....


People wey dey always cry Abt Lagos Agbero say dem brutal jam Ibadan Agbero u go know say the difference is clear....

Nigeria's politics is such an intriguing movie, e dey always sweet for body.

I was expecting to see broken heads, bottle, arms etc.

Oyo politics is the Mecca of thuggery in SW. it took the effort of late Governor Ajimobi to tame them.

Is this a debate or beer Parlour arguments in public

Touts seems to be more important during election than police and inec officials.
See the way they are talking about touts

Nice one Naptu2
for this background/exposition.

We now celebrate thugs, urchins, touts, agberos, because of elections, Nigerias political landscape needs a change, vote obi-datti to lay a foundation for a new Nigeria.

The clash of the titans...

Thug nation. Must it be thugs, crooked elements, cabals, that will decide who we vote for.
Thugs, notorious crime lord's and cabals will raise one of their own to represent their party. And will present them to the public to canvass for votes. They will also present them to religious leaders to seek their endorsement so as to convince their congregations.
Not the way forward.

Simple @Seyi Makinde take the case file to court and stop barking like your coward boss Wike

But i see tessy beating GSM at d governorship poll

Where is Adedibu today ?
Where is Eleweomo ?
Where is even Tokyo today ? (Although he is alive but no longer physically active and sick)
Where is Otunba Alao Akala today ?
These people mentioned are movers and shakers of Ibadan politics then.
Makinde has no doubt changed the political space today and he's very celebral and intelligent and a smooth operator.
No doubt Ibadan is well calmed and he is in full control with great achievements to show in the last four years.
He is definitely going to be re-elected and beat his opponents silly. (Sorry Penkelemesi. I like you and your solid team) in Accord Party but Makinde is much stronger perhaps next election sir.

ThiefnubuBandit:
Political touts

That is the legacy of ThiefNuibu in Yoruba land, as the leader of our political realm since 1999/2007.

Did he not de-emphasise free education for all in favour of breeding thugs, agberos and area boys like the northern almajiri?

What a shame.

TOPCRUISE:
Thug nation. Must it be thugs, crooked elements, cabals, that will decide who we vote for.
Thugs, crime lord's and cabals will raise one of their own to represent their party. And will be canvassing for votes from religious leaders who will now endorse them in their congregation.

Power abhors a vacuum.

How much of your time, talents and money are you contributing to the different aspects of the political process? Are you a member of any political party?

It's a very simple question by GSM
Who killed Eleweomo

mkoabiola:
But i see tessy beating GSM at d governorship poll

Agba seer....
You sure say you dey see well so....

Ibadan was bloody then,in the interior places in Ibadan,they were fights every time with thugs of both parties,you can’t go to iwo road without fear,late ajimobi came and calm everything down..

Teslim should wait after this election cuz I don’t see him close enough to challenge makinde..

Makinde will do his 8 years comfortably 🤗🤗

During Adedibu time,i always avoid Ibadan
