Rising insecurity in Oyo raises fresh concerns over state policing debate — APC

Oyo APC slams Makinde over insecurity remarks, demands resignation

Oyo State's APC formally demanded Governor Seyi Makinde's resignation after he claimed constitutional limits on his security powers following the abduction of schoolchildren in Oriire LGA. The opposition argues his deflection to federal structures contradicts seven years of exercising full gubernatorial authority, and frames the remarks as a political pivot toward a 2027 presidential bid rather than a governance response.
