“As for the Chairman, those of us who know him know that he has not been the man that he should be. He’s a great disappointment. This is not the first time he would be disappointing Lagos people. In 2019, he deceived us, and now he’s done it again thinking that Nigerian people are fools.

“And I said it before that in this election nobody can ‘Babangida’ us. It was a daylight robbery. The whole country supported you to amend the electoral law to ensure it is transmitted by electoral law, and at the time of the election, you came back to fight us. What a shame. I’m only sorry for the country.

“I’m only sorry for the youths. But I warned you before that this government is a disaster… It’s a disaster that God will help us get rid of. There’s no president-elect at all. It’s just a sham that will be removed in due course. We’re all living witnesses to it. Why won’t we follow the law provided for the election?”

Recall that the Yoruba leader publicly declared support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, on the ground that the people of the South East should be allowed to have a shot at the presidency for equity and justice to reign supreme.
