  "summary": "Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to fairness, inclusiveness, and democratic principles, stating that no political party should be denied access to public facilities in the state if they meet the established requirements for their use. In response to concerns surrounding the proposed use of Mapo Hall in Ibadan by the All Progressives Congress for its presidential campaign, Makinde emphasized that public assets belong to the people of Oyo State and must be administered in a transparent, equitable, and non-partisan manner. The governor reiterated that access to government-owned facilities is governed by laid-down procedures and regulations designed to ensure proper use, maintenance, and public order, and urged all political actors to conduct their activities peacefully and responsibly while calling on relevant authorities to handle administrative processes relating to the use of public facilities professionally, fairly, and without bias.",
