The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed concern over alleged plans to target one of its members in the State House of Assembly, Ibraheem Shittu. Shittu, who represents the Saki West state constituency, recently spoke out about the House of Assembly’s approval of a N300 billion loan for Governor Seyi Makinde.

According to the Oyo State APC, it has uncovered a plot to harass, attack, and victimize the lawmaker. The party’s Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Olawale Sadare, made this allegation in a statement, claiming that some of Governor Makinde’s loyalists are behind the plan. Sadare stated that the leadership of the House intends to accuse Shittu of breaching certain rules, which would lead to his indefinite suspension from the Assembly Complex.

The APC claims that Shittu is being targeted for responding to an inquiry from his party about his involvement in the loan approval. The party believes that the governor’s loyalists are attempting to silence the opposition in the state. The Oyo State APC has called on prominent personalities to intervene and persuade Governor Makinde to halt these plans. Additionally, the party has urged the heads of security agencies in the state to ensure Shittu’s safety and protect his rights as a citizen.

The controversy surrounding the N300 billion loan has sparked debate in the state, with the APC questioning the loan’s purpose and the potential implications for the state’s finances. The alleged plans to target Shittu have raised concerns about the state of politics in Oyo State and the treatment of opposition members. The situation is being closely monitored, and it remains to be seen how the events will unfold. The Oyo State APC’s allegations have highlighted the need for transparency and accountability in the state’s governance, as well as the importance of protecting the rights of all citizens, including elected officials.
