Over two years after,did you tell the people you were given that money for their benefit?you have read out two budgets after collecting the money,have you done the same with this money?you were never going to do that,this damage control is because you got caught.That some commentators are still aligning with your cork and bull story,just validates my believe that,Nigeria is irredeemable.

femarse:
Chaiii get knowledge guy , all govt account from local govt to federal government does not attract any charges from bank whatsoever and they don't earn interest as well, pls ask learned people in your area

If you noticed, I shared my lack of expertise in this area by saying "But maybe this is lodged into a special account. It's possible."

I dare say, I am not a banker. So, no offense.

But you could have replied in a less uncouth manner. But then, it might be a reflection of who you are as a person anyway. I am hoping it's not though.

This looks like the parable of the servant given one talent.

femarse:
If you are properly educated , you will know that govt accounts are current account and current account don't earn interest
2 govt account don't attract any charges whatsoever

But then you only know what they pass to you on your WhatsApp group
Meanwhile , go check the location , you will not believe bomb blasted there cos the sign have disappeared due to the renovation from the state govt

Iwo l’oga awon o l’odo.

I worked in CBN some years back. All those Current Accounts Personal and Impersonal are never left in rounded figures.
You just keep regurgitating what your dd-unce leaders passed on to you.

Why open the account then? We don’t say he didn’t carry out any repair. Why a special account? Which infrastructure account is this? For bridges or electricity? Is this the only infrastructure account the state has? Why not instruct CBN to put the money in other known infrastructure accounts?

He was allege to be the owner and employer of the ex plosives and those people work for him. Has anybody been apprehended since then? Has the report of the ex plosion ever been made public?

He is keeping the money for himself, to go home with. That’s the simple truth. Sebi he will settle some senior ogas who are aware of the movement. Was any of us aware the state was paid such money, until Fayose blew the lid open?

You are working and eating from them. So no biggy.

kclub83:
Honestly, Nigerians are clueless without thinking before they talk. You people were clamouring that seyi should account for the money. Now he has accounted for the money and people are still talking that why is he keeping the money?

Mumu...you are the clueless here. Una think say the money is kept for the people? Money wey embezzlement plan dey on top am.

APC people are dumb
The money was only received in 31st November 2025, out of 50 billon the approval of 50 was given and 30 billion the question should be where is the remaining 20 billion when will it be paid. U are asking him to share from his plan it can not go anywhere. So he should know if the other is coming or not so they readjust the sharing given some and leaving some is injustice to others. I support him to keep the money till the balance is released.

Igbek76:
Very wicked governor. People are in pains and agony needed supports to.rebuild their lives and you kept the funds for 2 yrs ?

And you keep abusing the APC FG?
God will purnished all of you plus your idiotic supporters here.

JOLLOFman:
Sir, I am from Oyo state and my governor has done NOTHING WRONG regarding this issue. He has compensated the victims and has committed state funds to rebuilding. The federal government should explain why it refused to disburse the whole relief fund ad why it took it a year. Please, reason and don't with your hands shutdown an accountable governor like Seyi Makinde

The FG is not under any obligation to even give him that 30billion. Listen to yourself nah. It’s like a beggar coming to your for 50billion and you gave him 30billion. Now someone is blaming you for not giving the beggar the full 50billion has asked for.
Was the 30billion given to your messiah part of his constitutionally-approved monthly allocation?

FG knows the reason it didn’t release the remaining 20B. Your governor could have been doing what the ruling party don’t like, after collecting the 30billion.

Now the beggar didn’t spend the money at all, after a year. It means the beggar didn’t need the money, in the first instance, otherwise, the money should have been ‘utilized’, as usual.

🎶🎸🎼 30BG for the account o… 🎼🥁🎤🎸.

Baba wan bolt with 30B. Laigbe, laifa.

Untouched or money gone with the wind

They have started running kitikiti already

ayinba1:
He kept a disaster relief money unspent for a year The people’s money. This is an utter failure of leadership

Absolutely. He never even informed his people that such funds existed. That is the first grievous error.

EponObi:
Why are our governments like this? Kai!

The FG gave you 30b naira since Nov 2024 and you kept it without utilizing it for intended purpose. You even have the effrontery to accuse the same FG of not releasing the remaining 20b while the initial 30b is rendered useless in the bank. What's the rationale behind this when many people and properties affected by explosion are yet to be compensated? Oyo people won't be happy this guy.

From the "FG didn't give us anything" to "They gave us 30b naira and requested bribe for the remaining balance of 20b naira" to "We haven't touched the 30b naira"

Seyi Makinde keeps digging when he's already down badly.

If Fayose no blow the whistle, nobody go know say 30b dey your hand. Na so you go clear am use am for whatever. We can assume Fayose's claim that you intended to use it to fund your elections is true.

BTW, the interest accumulated, where is it?

This is exactly what Peter Obi did with Anambra state Treasury. He kept the state money in Fidelity bank where he's a major shareholder, kept Anambra languishing in underdevelopment, while earning interest on the savings.

The people didn't vote for you to keep the state treasury in the bank but to use revenue to drive development.

Kai! Seyi Makinde fall my hand seriously.

Initially, people thought he only used 4.5b naira out of the 30b naira. This is even worse. Lmaooooo

We know that you're simply rambling hoping you'll get something that makes sense to say but you're not really making sense here
The money was given to the state in November last year (2025 not 2024) and it was given incomplete yet you want him to spend it and you're even ignorantly asking for interest!!
You guys shouldn't embrace silliness all because of politics
These guys don't care about you one bit. They released money requested for since January 2024 in November 2024 and it was not even complete. Meanwhile the state already spent 24bn of its own money.
You guys should stop losing your senses for politics sake. The money was supposed to be for reconstruction of roads damaged by the explosion
Zombies sef

WesleyPepper:
Untouched ke😂😂😂😂
Nah so nah
Money meant to compensate victims was kept somewhere. To what intent and purpose please
Seyi Makinde is definitely that man Obi has been taking advice from

Another one
The money was meant for reconstruction of the roads damaged by explosion not victims. The state already compensated the victims
Zombies sha

HacheNoire:
Seyi Makinde has no iota of shame!

After denial, he was forced to admit and shamelessly now accounting for what he previously denied.

In a sane country, no way he wouldn’t have faced the law and sentenced to death.

People did less than what he did before Kim Jon Hun ripped them apart with 120mm bullets.

Another one
So accounting for the funds which APC zombies have been whining about is now a crime for which he should be shot?
So he will face death sentence for accounting for money given to him
But the FG that delayed the money for almost a year only to release incomplete money with no explanation for the rest should be given a pat on the back abi
Zombies eeh

Ashirioluwa:
Government or corporate money can be kept in interest-yielding accounts like high-yield business savings, money market accounts, or even interest-bearing business checking.

Yes. You're a very wise man
When you become a gov, go and keep govt money in a savings account you hear?

muyico:
but why you denied it before??
That you don't receive dime from federal government,

Don’t mind the governor.. he really messed up

chicfarmer:
Where the interest on this money dey go for over one year now?

Secondly it disappointing that the Oyo state government received this money for over a year and just let it 'gather dust' just because you knew 'a day like this will come'. So if you properly applied the money for its intended use and keep good accounting records wouldn't that make better sense? Must you wait for the total money to be released before you start? Meanwhile people who sorely need the intervention are suffering. I'm disappointed in this governor. He allowed politics to overshadow the more important public good for which that money was released.


Nb: and let nobody tell you that they would leave 30bn in a commercial bank without collecting interest on the money. Where is the interest on that money going to?

The money was meant for road construction not sharing to people oh Oga
All the victims have been compensated by the state govt
Keep your disappointment to yourself

Story. I've seen you roleplaying Sergio Ramos all over the thread.

Lol... He said it's incomplete. You or one of the Ramoses on the thread said he spent 24b naira out of the state purse and the FG fund was meant to reimburse the state. Seyi has a spare change of 6b naira as it stands.

So in your drug induced reasoning, it makes sense to keep holding the 30b naira because it's not complete? Aren't there other things to do in the state? So if the FG doesn't give the 20b naira balance, Seyi will hold onto the 30b naira forever? Lmaooooo.

Seyi didn't even announce his state got any fund from the FG. People only got to know after Fayose blew the whistle. Another question is "why did he deny getting anything from the FG initially?

Keep defending nonsense.

If Seyi and Oyo state think they are too big for the 30b, they should return it to the FG biko. All these shalaye no need.

hush15:
Deny what? He never denied it. Why are Nigerians like this, creating lies after lies to support a con federal government.

Those are zombies not Nigerians
They are only looking to spill dirt on Makinde in other to discredit him in the eyes of the public
That's how the zombies roll

So he should have spent money meant for road construction for other things so that you can accuse him of looting or having uncompleted projects
Why didn't you ask why the FG has not released the rest of the money for over 2 years now
I never knew Seyi will be governor forever.
Zombie. He never denied getting anything from FG. He denied getting 50bn and he's still on point so far
Only zombies are looking for all means to nail him in this matter and we all know why

Does it take one year to procure contract for road construction?

Why hasn't the FG completed payment going two 2 years after request

Obiedun:
That's why I said you must be kidding. You are talking as if you live outside the country. Has he ever openly disclosed this before? Thanks to Fayose.

So Fayose disclosed it because he loved the masses or serving his money bag?

press9jatv:
Ẹjọ, money was deposited in November 2024 and we are in January 2026, will you like to tell us interest ti o ti yield, abi na arrangee?

If you believe FG would send money for explosion since November 2024 and it would truly remain untouched till January 2026 laise owo ori esu, you can believe anything in this world 🤣🤣. How can a state government deposited 30 billion in a bank for over a year untouched without yielding interest? You mean we just deposited money to the bank for them to be using to run their business? Na state owned bank?

Money received for a purpose in November 2024 and another money was removed from the state purse to carry out the same project and we see graduates defending this rubbish?

When was the project carried out? Before November 2024 or after? If it was before, what happened for more than one year that the money has not been returned? If it was after, why removing from state purse when you have money from FG already?

Nigeria is so unlucky not with only leaders but citizens. We have many unpatriotic, selfish citizens that can defend anything for their own interest in this country.

Cry oh nation because your tears is not enough.

You should have cured your ignorance with a simple Google search that will show you that current account does not yield interest. It's obvious you're not a corporate account holder anyway cause you'll have known this if you are.

And what project is to be carried out with incomplete money. And you're the dude accusing others if incompetence?!!

Na you be zombie for failing to see Seyi Makinde did nonsense.

Road construction, dam construction, statue construction, BBL construction, whatever construction, the fact is he kept 30b intervention fund idle for more than year and didn't utilize the resources. Is this not looking like "attempted looting" if not for the Fayose expose? And every defense of Makinde keeps pointing that Fayose might be right.

I know it's difficult for you to see but it doesn't look good on Seyi.

He denied getting 50b naira from the government and didn't mention he got 30b either. That's the point he started losing it.

In short, Seyi Makinde gave First Bank taxpayers money worth 30b naira to use for their own operation, for free. Let drag this further. Let's speculate how much FBN made from the 30b naira deposit, without incuring any value to the Oyo state people. 3b naira? 6b naira? 10b naira?

In fact, Sergio Ramos na amateur wey you dey. Kundus to you!

FreeStuffsNG:

You're not asking why FG is yet to complete payment 2 years after approval instead you're asking why Makinde didn't announce incomplete payment and start spending incomplete money so you can call him a thief abi

Shimbo96:
you are thinking backward. are you saying there is nothing wrong with what Oyo state government did? Makinde is the issue right now and not Tinubu so reason with your brain and not your yansh.

How is Makinde the issue for keeping govt money in govt account
Fayose lied that the money did not enter Oyo state govt account
Tinubu did not complete payment after 2 years but Makinde is the issue
Zombies eeeh

Kukutente23:

Lmaooooo. Here's he roleplaying Luis Suarez. Handball. And it's a red card. You no get point.

Let's even assume the entire 50b was designated for road construction. If he only got 30b naira from the FG, couldn't be supply the remaining from the state coffers to complete the construction then seek reimbursement from the FG. That would have been a better PR than the nonsense he's doing now.

And don't bring any "so you people will accuse him embezzlement yada yada". I know you have a lot of that up your sleeve. If he can present bank statement as prove, he sure can provide transparency and accountability report on how the 30b FG fund was spent and he supplemented the outstanding.

VanuatuWycombe:
Hope this is not an #Oluwole? This thing looks #Dagboish.

He thinks all Nigerians are as dull as he is.

So, no single kobo added to the money or deducted from it as charges? Just 30B as it was deposited since Nov. 2024?

Bros, e wá iró míràn pa now.

Why not display the whole statement, since it’s only a single transaction that’s in it? It shouldn’t be more than a page statement.

Oni’ro told us to go and ask from bank, as if bank will allow us have access to the account. There’s duty of secrecy on bank customers’ account, except if the bank is trying to defend itself in a court of law, or it is compelled by competent court of law to disclose such, or the client itself allows the bank to disclose it.

If Oyo State Government wants the general public to have access to this newly-opened account, it should also, publicly, publish a mandate that gives anybody access to that account.

Why keep the money unused, in the first instance? That’s if it hasn’t been used at all.

Could it be that it’s for someone to later on withdraw or go home with? Or is a fixed deposit account, on which interested yielded os being rolled over, for someone to pack later?

There are a lot to this than we think.

What charges are you referring to pls
