Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state took a swipe at Makinde over his lamentation against economic hardship occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy.

The party chapter regretted that "Makinde has grown more wings on his penchant for misleading the public and sacrificing others for his ineptitude in government.
