The lawmaker representing Saki West local government at the Oyo State House of Assembly, Shittu Ibrahim, has revealed how the state legislature approved a new N300 billion loan for the Seyi Makinde led administration in an emergency sitting.
The lawmaker, in a short statement released on Wednesday evening criticized the arrangement through which the loan was approved, noting that the House is currently on a recess and not all members were invited to the sitting.
“I want it to be in record that I, Hon Shittu Ibraheem, representing Saki West state constituency in Oyo State House of Assembly, am 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 honorable members?” he wrote.
