Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ibadan’s outer city zone have warned Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, against extravagant spending and poor financial management.
Their concerns focus on controversial state projects, including the proposed ₦63.5 billion renovation of the Agodi Government House and the ₦14.3 billion payment for an Instrument Landing System (ILS) at the Ladoke Akintola Airport—projects they claim already received significant prior funding.
In a communiqué issued after their quarterly meeting at the APC Secretariat in Egbeda, the party leaders criticized what they called “unnecessary spending” despite the state’s public debt nearing ₦500 billion. They noted the state receives over ₦22 billion in federal allocations and about ₦10 billion monthly in internally generated revenue.
They urged the government to prioritize prudent financial planning and channel fuel subsidy savings into long-term development.
Notable signatories included Alhaji Kamorudeen Ajisafe, Rasaki Akilapa, Moshood Erubami, and others. Senator Yunus Akintunde (Oyo Central) was also in attendance to support the party leadership.
