The Igbo community in Ibadan rallied behind Governor Seyi Makinde on Saturday, denouncing rumours of an impeachment plot against him. Speaking at the state secretariat in Agodi, Ibadan, the Association of Igbo Residents in Ibadan expressed full solidarity with the governor, calling the impeachment rumour unfounded and misleading. The group, represented by its leadership, stated that the governor has maintained a spirit of inclusivity and fairness in governance, which they said earned him the trust of non-indigenous residents. They urged the public to disregard the rumour, describing it as a deliberate attempt to destabilise the administration. No specific date was given for when the alleged impeachment threat was first reported. The association also highlighted Makinde's commitment to equitable development across Oyo State as a reason for their continued confidence in his leadership. Members of the group stood in solidarity during the press address, holding placards in support of the governor. The statement was read by the association's spokesperson, though no names were provided in the report. Security agencies did not comment on the rumour, and no legislative member has confirmed any formal motion.
