Berankis:
So why the initial denial instead of coming out clean the first time? He waited until Fayose posted evidence before this late response/damage control.
Fayose don use Makinde shine already and it will affect his reputation.

EponObi:
Nah! You are the one out of your depth. You lack comprehension because the post wasn't directed to you.

Seek the explanation from Seyi why he's feeling entitled to a fund he went to Abuja to request; a fund that's isn't the legal right of his state.

If you requested... Read well before running kitikiti to reply with answers without head or tail.. If you "REQUESTED" for 50b naira as intervention fund and you were given 30b naira, why is your benefactor being accused?

The FG didn't appropriate 50b.

Seyi Makinde REQUESTED for 50b.

The FG gave him 30b.

Whoever requested for a bribe at the Federal level should be named, else, it's all fugazzi to cover up the attempted fraud and look for an escape route from the silliness and ridiculousness of keeping 30b that was GIVEN to you as cushioning effect in a private bank for 1 year.

If you can't still see the entitlement, I can't help you.

Again, the FG didn't promise or appropriated 50b to Oyo state. Seyi requested 50b, the FG gave him 30b. Understood?

And again, can you speculate how much FBN made using the 30b for their operations in the last 13 months? If I'm to guess, I'd say they made nothing less than 20% profit. 😋 Soft work!

opes:
Not only that, Fayose Said he has documentary evidence and he is going to expose the Governor about the real IGR the state is generating which is different from the "fake" amount being declared by Makinde.
This is just the beginning from Wike's camp to keep Makinde busy, he ain't even talking about PDP again..

JOLLOFman:
Man, comprehension is an issue for you, I can see. It's stated in the op that the intervention fund was received almost a year after the incident but still not full as approved federally with no explanation. But the STATE GOVERNMENT HAS SPENT ITS OWN MONEY to compensate victims and rebuild Bodija and its environs. According to them, 24billion has been spent already.

Kukutente23:
If he had spent the 30bn, zombies will accuse him of looting
He has done the right thing by not touching the money till the payment is complete. Let FG complete the payment. The money was approved 2yrs ago. Why hasn't payment for an emergency been completed in 2yrs
This is same way same FG announced they were giving states 5bn for palliatives of subsidy removal only for it to later emerge they released only 1.8bn for each state and then told them to come and take a loan of 3.2bn to complete the 5bn.
This is a thieving FG we're talking about here
So what if Tinubu is not reelected in 2027, what happens to the remaining 20bn? At least we've seen where the 30bn is now

EponObi:
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!

chicfarmer:
So are you going to return the money?
Shey the money cannot benefit Oyo state people again?

chicfarmer:
I don't care what zombies or anybody else thinks. Apply the money judiciously and KEEP YOUR RECORDS. You cannot let your people's development stall because of what your political opponents will say.
In fact he would be foolish to return that money even if the balance is not released to him. Use the one that has been released to work for your people and keep your records of how the money was spent. Simple. When your opponents make noise, you drop the records for them, that's all.

JOLLOFman:
Yeye talk, zombies will still wail. I prefer the governor's approach. Federal Government should provide clarity on the remaining 20billion approved at the federal level and maybe explain what crisis another southwest state had to be given 150billion. The state has record of 24billion spent so far.

JOLLOFman:
Bro, check the Fiscal responsibility act2020. Don't fill this place with ignorance. State have the right to seek intervention fund to cushion the effect of crisis such as this. It's not a political largesse.

JOLLOFman:
You are the ignorant one bro. The rebuilding of more than a hundred high end houses and a couple of industries, roads, compensation for dead and alive victims. Half of circular road will gulp not less than 200billion in 2026 budget. I live in Ibadan. You may choose to paint all Governors black but Seyi Makinde stands out in the eyes of his people. If you have any valid claim and evidence against him, step forward

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?

safariman:
This does not pass the smell test. Can GSM provide a history of all transactions on the account or just simply show us a statement of the account dating back to a year ago. I have known this guy to be a land grabber and a thief. Fantanstically currupt. Again, as long as he pays people at the secretariat and pension, he is the best. N30Billion just sitting in a current account . year right!

Kukutente23:
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

hush15:
FG should keep the money na. Its their personal fund. See government with accountability, showing transparency. Let Tinubu show transparency from his Lagos years till date, if he will not go jail from presidency

HOSTCOM:
So if fayose hadn't raise the issue we would not have even known FG disbursed any fund for such emergency. Naija politician will never die well.

HgAkpobomeEr:
The Oyo State Government should utilize the funds and seek for the balance later.

BeImma:
95% of politicians are the same- they don't have the interest of the people at heart. How can you hoard money meant to relieve affected blast victim for almost 2 years. In their pain you still use them to do business without mentioning the accrued interest. Haaaba! The greediness is too much. Had it not been that Fayose exposed him, will he have ever revealed that FG gave Oyo State 30 billion naira as fund relief for the victims?
Most of the victims have fixed their damaged houses, accepted fate and moved on with life.
He wants to use it for election . If nit for wike and fayose, he won't cine out to say he was given such humongous amount of money
The Turkish proverb said it all sha, "The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever, and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them"

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

Kelklein:
Damage control..

Did you mention that the money was released before

I put it to you that you lie about not touching the 30bn.. with the situation of things in the country right now and you all's propensity to steal every available funds at site..

All of una be thief both the givers and the takersHe should tell us the amount of interest it has generated since he put it in the bank. TRAP DON CATCH AM

VanuatuWycombe:
You are the one that’s a d um b arrss. After it has been transferred by FG, it has become FBN’s duty to charge whatever statutory deductions and other bank charges it must.
The account is not reported to be frozen, immediately after the money was deposited and unfrozen on 31/12/2025, when the statement was ‘printed’.

A lot of you only imagine things. You don’t have the experience. Don’t try to be rational. Quite me anywhere: you can’t leave 30billion in a commercial bank for a year and still have the exact 30billion, when running your account balance after a year.

Shimbo96:
read the gibberish you typed then judge yourself. Illiteracy is the most deadliest disease( Fayose said Makinde did not acknowledged the money Tinubu gave him but Makinde denied receiving any money which prompt Fayose to release evidence) kindly keep your opinion to yourself if you don't know how to follow a topic.

chicfarmer:
Answer simple question. If they don't provide your so-called clarity you will return the money? That would be silly. After you don dash Bank nothing less than 3bn in interest rate wey you no collect (@ 10% p.a). So who lose? Is it not the people of Oyo whom you claim to lead?
What is your business with what other states get? What of those that got nada? Abeg, una governor dropped the ball big time. He wants to win argument at the expense of the people he leads.

Ask lawyers and bankers about Duty of Secrecy, on bank accounts. Ask chartered bankers too or banking students.

FOI is not applicable to bank account balances. If it’s applicable, it means we can see every other government accounts, at will.
