Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has refuted claims that states across the country received a total of N570 billion from the federal government. His statement counters earlier reports suggesting that the substantial sum had been disbursed to state governments.
Governor Makinde, in addressing the matter, emphasized that no such funds have been received by the states as was previously claimed. The assertion follows widespread discussions and speculation regarding federal allocations aimed at supporting state-level initiatives.
Makinde’s clarification brings into question the accuracy of the initial reports and calls for greater transparency in the communication of federal financial distributions. The governor did not provide further details on the matter but made it clear that the purported N570 billion was not distributed to the states.
This development has sparked discussions among political analysts and citizens, with many calling for clearer explanations from both federal and state authorities regarding the disbursement of funds and their intended uses. Governor Makinde’s statement adds to the growing demand for accountability in the management of public resources.
Further updates and responses from the federal government and other state governors are anticipated as the story develops.
