– Oke Ogun indigenes called on Governor Makinde to reconsider his plan on expending state Proceeds on farmlands
– It added that justice, equity and fairness in resource distribution demand that all settlements in the state should benefit from proposed government intervention
– The ODCF described as unacceptable the Oyo State Government’s view that proceeds from the projects in these two settlements would later be spent on the other farm settlements
The Indigenes of Oke Ogun area of Oyo State have called on Governor Seyi Makinde to reconsider his plan of expending N7.6billion on farm settlements located outside the area and another N8billion on the Iwo Road Interchange, leaving out their area.
The Oke Ogun people, in a statement jointly signed by the ODCF President, Dr. Olusegun Ajuwon, and Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, advised that the loan should not be spent only on the two proposed farm settlements located in Ido and Eruwa, because both are in the same Oyo South Senatorial District.
The ODCF described as unacceptable the Oyo State Government’s view that proceeds from the projects in these two settlements would later be spent on the other farm settlements in the state, arguing that the amount involved was huge enough to be spent on all the seven identified settlements in the state.

It added that justice, equity and fairness in resource distribution demand that all settlements in the state should benefit from proposed government intervention.
“Fair play dictates that such a loan should not be spent in just one district at the expense of other two,” it said.
ODCF requested the Governor to consider the inclusion of farm settlements in the three senatorial districts, including Oke Ogun, Fashola-Oyo and Ogbomoso in disbursement of CBN loan and others.
