According to Shegzeblog, Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has refuted claims that Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), gave governors N570 billion.

Speaking on the matter, Governor Makinde stated, "Tinubu never gave governors N570 billion; it's a World Bank COVID-19 loan."

The governor's clarification comes amid controversy surrounding Tinubu's claim that he provided financial support to governors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Governor Makinde's statement sets the record straight, attributing the N570 billion to a World Bank loan aimed at mitigating the effects of the pandemic.

"It's essential to correct the narrative and ensure accuracy in our discourse," Governor Makinde emphasized. "The World Bank loan was a lifeline for states during a challenging period, and we must acknowledge the true source of this support."

By debunking Tinubu's claim, Governor Makinde promotes transparency and accountability in governance, underscoring the importance of factual information in public discourse.
