In his words, “it’s a clear cut statement from the populace that they have woken up to the fact that the Nigerian Political Ruling Class has failed them and there’s a need for a swift and prompt redress of the abnormalities in the Nigerian realities”
He stated that it’s a good sight to finally see the youths wake up from their slumber as the Nigerian Political Ruling Class have done so little to advance their course.
While praising them, he however condemned the activities of a few among them who seized the opportunity to hijack the peaceful protest to cause the wanton destruction of properties in many part of the nation.
He explained that the activities of these few unscrupulous elements is a testament of the failure of the Political Ruling Class to see to their welfare.

According to him, “ the political ruling class must go back to the drawing board to fix the various ills within the Nigerian system. This is a time when people must come together and ensure that the obnoxious 1999 constitution which has been giving us various problems is fixed. This is a good avenue for us to realize that this country may not be able to continue like this unless it’s restructured.”
He added that it’s quite sorry to see our current political ruling class come to power using restructuring to campaign only for them to turn a blind eye to it when they got the mandate.

In his words,” it’s one which is about mentorship and tutelage which has really rubbed off well on me. I call him my small god as I cannot tell you enough what he has done for me and what he is doing for me. He is the only living soul who I can ever call a mentor.”
He added that the Ooni of Ife is the kind of person who goes the extra mile to put others before himself.
