Oyo Lawmaker Distances Himself from ₦300 Billion Loan Approval During Assembly Recess

 

A member of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Ibraheem Shittu, has declared that he was not part of the lawmakers who approved a loan of three hundred billion naira for Governor Seyi Makinde.

Shittu, who represents Saki West state constituency, made this known in a statement posted on his Facebook page.

The statement, obtained by UGAMATV on Wednesday evening, noted 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”.
