His words:

“Tinubu, who has become a slurring human contraption castigated Governor Okowa and abused Warri. He pointed at Lagos as a place that has benefitted from development.
“Tinubu’s idea of Lagos is about a few places that the government of Nigeria built up many years ago. Lagos is not only about Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and other such lush locations. Tinubu’s Lagos is the world’s dirtiest city."

Omo-Agege not focused on his agenda

“Omo-Agege, who betrayed his greatest political benefactor, Great Ogboru, Omo-Agege who betrayed his old benefactor, James Ibori, and who betrayed Urhobo people in 2007 when they voted for Ogboru?"
