“I Didn’t Insult Tinubu” – Makinde Refutes Sunday Igboho’s Allegations

IBADAN — Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has outrightly dismissed claims by Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, accusing him of insulting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during a recent public engagement.

The controversy stems from comments made by Governor Makinde during a town hall meeting in Ondo State, which triggered sharp criticism from Igboho, who claimed the governor was “jumping about” to disrespect the President.

Reacting to the allegations, Makinde clarified that his remarks were misconstrued and were never targeted at President Tinubu. The governor stressed that his observations during the Ondo event focused on national issues and governance rather than personal attacks on the Nigerian leader.

According to sources close to the administration, Governor Makinde reaffirmed his commitment to constructive engagement on national policies while maintaining due respect for the office of the President.

The exchange has since generated varied reactions across political and social media landscapes, highlighting the ongoing political dynamics between key South-West leaders ahead of upcoming regional developments.
