For opposing the approval of a-N300 billion loan for Governor Seyi Makinde by the House of Assembly, Oyo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), has organised a peaceful protest to support its Lawmaker’s stand on the loan.
APC explained that the protest was over what it described as alleged victimisation of one of its Lawmakers, Ibraheem Shittu.
The protest started in the early hours of Monday at the APC Secretariat located in the Oke Ado area of Ibadan.
Report revealed that the rally had in attendence the Chairman, Alhaji Olayide Abas, and other members of the party.
Shittu, who represents Saki West State Constituency, had, a few days ago, raised an alarm that the House of Assembly has approved a N300 billion loan for the State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
The APC noted that the Lawmaker has been receiving threat messages as a result of the alarm he raised.
The party noted that it organised the rally in order to ensure that nothing happens to the Lawmaker.
Oyo APC Chairman, Alhaji Olayide Abas, while addressing journalists, noted that the protest was organised to show love for the lawmaker and ensure that he is protected.
He added that the party organised the rally in order to show that it is solidly behind the lawmaker.
“We are here to show our support to him for taking bold step to stand against the loan. We are behind him.
“We are here to tell the governor that he should not send Oyo State to a perpetual loan collector.
“We are not satisfied with what is happening. What has the governor done with the previous loans.
“I have the protest letter here, he should not be victimised. The process to take over Oyo State has started.”
