Oyo ADC demands explanation for Bodija explosion funds
The Oyo State chapter of the African Democratic Congress has challenged Seyi Makinde to provide a detailed account of the intervention funds received after the Bodija explosion. The party claims the state government has not been transparent about the N50 billion reportedly requested from the Federal Government. Discrepancies remain between the amount received, the amount spent, and what has been disclosed to the public. The ADC insists that the people of Oyo deserve a full breakdown of the funds used for victim relief and reconstruction.
