His words:
“We know there is poverty but poverty should not be used for wickedness.
“Because what happened in the last couple of days is wickedness by some disgruntled hoodlums and I think it is important to condemn it loud and clear.”

For instance, with Lagos set to restore normalcy and bring peace back following wanton destructions, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said his government would need N1 trillion to rebuild the state.
The governor made this known when the speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, paid him a solidarity visit on Sunday, October 25, in his Marina office.
Also, the Plateau state government said the preliminary report by a team of experts estimated the cost of damages caused by the hoodlums to be put at about N75 billion, according to The Cable.
