In a show of solidarity, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State staged a peaceful protest in Ibadan on Monday to condemn the alleged victimization of Hon. Ibraheem Shittu, the lawmaker representing Saki West State Constituency at the Oyo State House of Assembly.
The protesters, who gathered at the APC Secretariat in Oke Ado, held placards and chanted songs in support of Shittu, who they claim is being unfairly targetted for his dissenting views on the N300 billion loan approved by the Oyo State Government, led by Governor Seyi Makinde.
They argued that his position was in the interest of the people of Saki West and the entire state, stressing that silencing opposition voices undermines democracy.
Leaders of the APC in the state reiterated their commitment to protecting their members from intimidation, while calling on the government to uphold democratic values by ensuring fairness and justice.
The peaceful protest, which drew attention across Ibadan, ended with a strong message: the party will continue to resist all forms of political victimisation.
