The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned Governor Seyi Makinde’s recent approval of ₦63.5 billion for the renovation of the Agodi Government House, branding it as reckless, insensitive, and a gross misplacement of priority.

According to the APC, the PDP-led government’s move is a fresh example of impunity and financial recklessness, especially at a time when residents are grappling with harsh economic realities.

The controversial approval, made public by the State Executive Council last Wednesday, includes an additional ₦132 million for the hiring of professional gardeners and another ₦14.3 billion for the procurement of an Instrument Landing System (ILS) for Ladoke Akintola Airport, Ibadan.

In a strongly worded statement released over the weekend in Ibadan, the APC Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, said:

“Governor Makinde has again demonstrated his disregard for the welfare of the people. Instead of addressing pressing issues, he’s channeling billions into lavish projects. His recent justification—claiming he needs two aircraft for aerial crime surveillance—is nothing but a cover-up for corruption.”

The party also revisited past allegations, citing the controversial production of over 212,000 exercise books at ₦2,100 each in 2019, which sparked outrage.

“Those who ignored us back then are now raising their voices. Governor Makinde’s spending spree is finally being exposed,” the APC stated.

On the Alakia Airport upgrade, the party raised questions over the repeated release of funds.

“Why release ₦10bn and now another ₦14.3bn for a project already fully paid for?” the statement queried, alleging contract splitting.

Regarding the proposed purchase of aircraft, the APC warned that the plan was simply another avenue for embezzlement.

“Instead of investing in local security strategies, the governor is focused on acquiring jets that will only serve his inner circle.”

The party concluded by urging Oyo residents and stakeholders to demand accountability and resist what it described as “a dangerous culture of executive waste.”
