The Yoruba leader charged Christians to uphold the spirit of the season by extending love to everyone.

He spoke on other various political issues such as price gouging, restructuring and border closure.

Price gouging during festive periods

Iba Adams condemned the culture of increasing prices of goods and consumable items during festive periods in Nigeria.

He also called on the Nigerian government to spread joy by providing necessary facilities to ameliorate the hardship inflicted by COVID-19.

Restructuring is non-negotiable, says Iba Adams

The Yoruba chief also urged the Nigerian government to do the needful by restructuring the nation.

He said the nation has to be restructured if it wants to move forward.

Iba Adams lamented that state governors now solely depend on federal allocations when they are supposed to generate revenues in their respective states or regions and give a quarter to the federal government.

Border closure

Iba Adams claimed the closure of Nigeria's land borders was a costly mistake that partly contributed to the country’s recession.
