"Nobody can take decision for Yoruba without taking permission from Yoruba Establishment. I remember when I used to say Restructuring, the yoruba establishment told me True Federalism is their goal, so I bowed to their wish.

"Government is very clever, there's noone they can't set up. They will send
journalists to you so that you will make foolish statements that will put you in trouble. One must be careful and use wisdom and give respect to Yoruba leaders. Even President Buhari doesn't do certain things without calling all former presidents for advice and approval....."

“Nigerians love to criticize their country perhaps far more than any nation I know of in the world. Yes, we have all earned the right to be cynical and even contemptible about the way we have been governed, and about how the resources of our nation
have been frittered away mindlessly.
I am even more amused by the criticisms of some of our brethren in the Diaspora especially those who think that simply being abroad has set them apart from their fellow countrymen and women, those who believe that those of us who are here
are here are so because we are not good enough to be abroad.
...It is about time we took off the gloves and speak honestly to ourselves about our future as a country, our mistakes, our fears, anxieties and deep hope. We are not the worst people on earth nor is our country the

".....It's true that I didn't give as much as I ought to give to support my party (APC) for the 2020 gubernatorial election. Many reasons are responsible for that, I won't go into that detail. While I have a duty to support my party, I however had a soft spot for Obaseki until he
