‘I’m Not Among Those Who Approved N300 Billion Loan For Makinde During Recess’, Oyo Lawmaker Raises Alarm
A lawmaker representing Saki West state constituency in Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon Shittu Ibraheem, has washed his hands off the N300billion loan approved for Governor Seyi Makinde while the House was on recess.
The Oyo lawmaker faulted the process leading to the approval and why such humongous loan when the federal allocation has increased by 500%.
Hon Ibraheem took to his Facebook page and stated:
“I want it to be on record that I, Hon. Shittu Ibraheem, representing Saki West State Constituency in the Oyo State House of Assembly, am not among the lawmakers who approved a loan of 300 billion naira on August 19, 2025, and perfected on August 26, 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. However, an emergency plenary session was arranged to approve such a loan without communicating it to all members.
“A loan at this time, when all states have more than enough, raises questions. Oyo State now receives about a 500% increase in FAAC. Why take this loan? Why is the loan considered an emergency, and why was the sitting not communicated to all the honorable members?”
