Oyo APC Candidate Alli Demands Halt to Cheshire Home Sale

Senator Sharafadeen Alli, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Oyo State, issued a statement on Tuesday cautioning Governor Seyi Makinde against alleged plans to sell or allocate the land belonging to Cheshire Home in Eleyele, Ibadan, to private property developers. The statement, released by Alli's Campaign Organisation (SSACO) and signed by the Director of Media and Publicity, Prince Bisi Oladele, described the alleged plan as part of a troubling trend regarding the disposal of public assets under Makinde's administration.

The campaign organization expressed concerns that the proposed sale could follow a pattern of transferring public land to private interests, raising questions about the administration's stewardship of state assets. It emphasized that public properties should not be treated as personal possessions and called for an immediate halt to any sale or allocation of the Cheshire Home land, insisting on transparency and accountability in all transactions involving public assets.
