In Oyo State, hundreds of APC members staged a peaceful protest against the alleged intimidation of Hon. Ibrahim Shittu over the approval of a N300 billion loan request by the PDP-led state administration. The protesters gathered at the APC secretariat in Ibadan, criticizing the rising debt profile and accusing the state House Assembly of intimidating APC members.
