Faleke cautions Aregbesola over comments directed at Tinubu
Faleke said in a statement posted on TSG's Facebook page:
“When many of us including and especially Aregbesola and our families look back to pre-1999 and see the level we were, and how God has used this same Asiwaju's selfless efforts, sagacity, intellect, and money to mentor and promote us, we should be eternally grateful to God instead of engaging in ego-tripping.

“If for once we fail to have everything our way as before, we should be humble enough to appreciate the fact that we can't win all the time.
“God will not come down physically but will use people to help us to achieve our goals and that role of destiny helper is what Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been and is still playing.
“Asiwaju has never played God, rather his actions and utterances have always been divinely ordained.
“The man has always been guided by the spirit of God. There are so many politicians he has mentored and supported to greatness and they will forever be grateful to him.”
