Oyo Governor Denies Receiving ₦50bn Federal Funds for Ibadan Airport

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde denied receiving ₦50 billion from President Tinubu for the Ibadan airport expansion, asserting the project is fully state-funded. The denial comes amid political tensions ahead of the 2027 election, with Makinde also pledging to delegate power to the vice president if elected. The claim's veracity is unclear, but the denial signals a potential rift with the federal government.
