Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Saturday, July 11, 2026, the governor compared the public reaction to the 2014 Chibok schoolgirls’ abduction with the response that followed the kidnapping of schoolchildren in Oyo State during his administration.

Makinde argued that public opinion appeared to apply different standards depending on who was in office at the time of the incident.

According to him, when the Chibok abduction occurred, many Nigerians and members of the international community held then-President Goodluck Jonathan responsible and demanded urgent federal action.
