However, Oyetola while reacting to the allegation through his spokesperson, Ismail Omipidan said the governor has further exposed his lack of understanding of governance, stressing that Oyetola did not borrow a dime throughout his four years tenure.
His words; "I insist for the umpteenth time that my principal never took any loan facility for the four years he used in office. The claim by the new governor shows clearly that he lacks understanding of how government is run.
"If you go to my principal farewell address, he stated it clearly, that like every other state, we benefitted N3billion on monthly basis for six months from the Federal Government as budget support. This money was given to all the 36 states of the federation without requesting. You cannot categorize that as loan.
"The new governor does not understand the working of government and he should have allow those that understand the rudiment to explain it to him, So that he won’t be coming to the public to embarrass himself".
