The difficulties that Lagosians had during the rally organized by Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, have been criticized by Pastor Bolaji Akniyemi.
The management committee for Lagos State Parks and Garages is now headed by the former president of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).
Oluomo and other Bola Tinubu supporters marched across the state on Sunday in support of the APC presidential candidate.
The Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere served as the rally’s starting point, and Oshodi served as its finish line.

Akinyemi complained about how commuters, including attendees at her church, were stuck in traffic for hours in a Facebook post that drew responses.
The Apostolic Round Table is organized by the outspoken religious activist.
A 5-million-man march on a Sunday at 8:00 am in support of a Muslim candidate, he said.
“Now they have said it loud and clear in Lagos to our face, “go to church and see Muslims marching to take the state in their multitudes.”
Akinyemi, who said some people might avoid discussing the issue, added that “this is no ordinary time”.
“Do they (Tinubu-APC followers) have the right to walk on a Sunday? Of course they do!
“But the point is made, Lagos has more people who have no business with church and wouldn’t mind a walk in exchange for worship on a Sunday!”
The cleric noted that the trek for Tinubu was like holding a major event in Kano on a Friday.
There have been calls for politicians and parties to recognize days that are special to religious persons during campaigns for the 2023 elections.

At the Lagos gathering, Oluomo said the deaths reported at the Lekki toll gate on October 20, 2020 were incorrect.
“Where are the bodies and where are they buried? Do they have relatives in Nigeria? Has Nigeria bribed the mothers of the deceased protesters?”, he quipped.
Oluomo added that those making the claim were lying to the public because “they want to undermine the Yorubas”.
