Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde refutes ex-Governor Ayo Fayose's claim of receiving ₦50 billion from Bola Tinubu post-Ibadan explosion. Makinde demands evidence from Fayose to support the allegation, emphasizing transparency.

Fayose's ex-aide, Lere Olayinka, echoes similar claims on social media. Makinde's spokesperson, Sulaimon Olarenwaju, dismisses the allegations as baseless and misleading, stressing no such funds were received by the state.

The controversy deepens as the aftermath of the explosion unfolds, with Makinde seeking federal support for recovery efforts.
