OYO: APC PROTESTS INTIMIDATION OF SAKI WEST LAWMAKER, IBRAHIM SHITTU OVER N300B LOAN



The Oyo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has staged a peaceful protest in solidarity with Hon Ibraheem Shittu, the state House of Assembly member representing Saki West State Constituency, over alleged victimisation by the state government.

The well attended protest, which took place on Monday, commenced with members gathering at the APC State Secretariat at Oke-Ado in Ibadan and later continued with a peaceful walk to Mokola Round About. The party members and supporters present used the opportunity to register their displeasure on the victimisation of Hon Ibraheem Shittu while holding placards and chanting solidarity songs.


The protesters alleged that Hon Shittu has been unfairly targeted following his media outburst on the controversial #300 Billion loan discreetly approved by the Oyo State Assembly while alleging that a few of them were not invited to the plenary session when the loan was approved.



The APC leaders in the state also reiterated their commitment to protect members from intimidation, while charging the government to uphold democratic values by ensuring fairness and justice.
