“The earn gain of subsidy removal is to revive our economy and get us back into a productive economy that will ensure the welfare of the people. Palliative is a temporary measure and we believe that this is a federation, the state governments should be in the position to deliver those palliatives to the people”.
“Don’t be deceived; this party is the main party that is developmental oriented. They are talking about fuel subsidy; the removal is for development; before now, they pay N1 trillion for subsidy. So, within two months, the government has been able to save N2 trillion. We must not allow our economy to be ruined.
” Federal Government palliative is in osun, Tinubu gave them N5 billion, tell them to bring it out. I implore all of us to work assiduously for the progress of the party”

“Those that betrayed us are now disappointed over the appointment of caretaker committee for local government areas. “Less than one year, those that worked against the interests of Osogbo, they are ripping the consequences. Those that they put in government, they are treating them like babies and they don’t know what is in government.”
“They are making unnecessary appointments; they are mediocre. Those that do not understand the tenets of Islam are now fighting me at the Eid praying ground, the indigenes of Osogbo built the Eid. He stressed.
