Following the Oyo State House of Assembly’s approval of a N300 billion (three hundred billion naira) loan for Governor Seyi Makinde, there have been conflicting responses. Ibraheem Shittu, a member of the State House of Assembly, was the first to publicly declare the loan’s approval, according to BASEMEDIA NEWS.
Shittu represents the Saki West state constituency and was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He screamed that the House was in recess and that he was not notified when the loan was approved.
The loan, he said, was like needless.
In an emergency session during our six-week break, Shittu stated: “I would like it to be documented that I, Hon. Shittu Ibraheem, who represents Saki West State Constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly, am not one of the legislators who approved a loan of 300 billion naira on August 19, 2025, and perfected on August 26, 2025.
As of right now, the House is taking a 6-week break from July 31 to September 16, 2025.
However, in order to approve such a loan without informing all members, an emergency plenary session was called.
There are concerns about a loan at this time when every state has more than enough. FAAC has increased by roughly 500% for Oyo State. Why accept this loan? Why was the meeting not announced to all of the honorable members, and why is the loan deemed an emergency? #Make Your Governors Answerable.
