The statement partly reads:

“It thus appears that Mr. Governor and his immediate family are bent on living fat on the lean resources of the people, when poverty has taken over the land, walking in all four legs...
“It is very apparent that it is the greed of the first family that is being fed, no longer their needs. Akeredolu, his wife, and children must appreciate that the resources they are wasting in this reckless manner were only given to them in trust for the people. They should remember that the day of reckoning is very near.”
