The approval is not the first time the House has given its consent to such a request; previous loan applications for the state government had also been approved. The decision, however, has sparked mixed reactions.\n\nThe Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) responded to the news by stating that the governor would be required to account for every kobo spent during his tenure once he leaves office.
