“I welcome this call, and I am ready to honour it upon Mr. Sanwoolu’s demonstration of honour and respect for the citizens of Lagos by doing the following:

1) Make public his 1981 Original WAEC certificate since he deposed under oath in his INEC form EC9 that he sat for GCE O level in that year.

3) Explain why you asked your lawyers to oppose our application to do a forensic audit of the WAEC back-end server for further verification.

"I am positive that these are easily doable and won't take any time at all to effect."

Adediran demanded that politicians must uphold the core tenets of integrity and accountability, “especially as people sworn to the service of the public”.
