Oyo APC Lawmaker Slams Colleagues’ Approval Of N300bn Loan For Makinde While On Recess
A member of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Ibraheem Shittu, has slammed his colleagues over the approval of a loan of three hundred billion naira for Governor Seyi Makinde.
Shittu declared that he was not part of the lawmakers who approved the loan for the Governor.
The lawmaker who represents Saki West State Constituency made this known in a statement posted on his Facebook page, adding that the House is currently on a six-week recess.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker wrote: “I want it to be in record that I, Hon Shittu Ibraheem, representing Saki West state constituency in Oyo State House of Assembly, I’m not among other lawmakers who approved a loan of 300 billion naira on 19th August 2025 and perfected on 26th of August 2025 in an emergency sitting during our 6-week recess.
“The House is currently on a 6-week recess from July 31st to September 16th, 2025. But an emergency plenary session was arranged to approve such a loan without communicating it to all members.
“Loan at this time when all states have more than enough. Oyo State now receives about a 500% increase in FAAC. Why take this loan? Why is the loan an emergency and why was the sitting not communicated to all the honourable members? #HoldYourGovernorsResponsible”.
