What is he waiting for? Oh yes, do it quickly. Wait, if the CSO governor of the state is confused about this, how would the president sitting in Abuja get it right in Oyo local government? Woe to those who put us in trouble in this country.

Arrest Acting Governor Seyi. That criminal has no right to come into your country and disrupt public and business activities. He is no different from the criminals in power, the money we gave for his NGO he cannot put into his account

Mr. Governor, these are just talks, you and I know that you cannot sacrifice yourself for them.

@thatguyjay01
Please sacrifice yourself sir, too much talk all the time no action, the Adelabu family was released after just one day.

@Tobicodes
Then why didn’t he go to the forest himself! These people talk nonsense without acting.

Look at the person who was waiting for the FG to chase the kidnappers while he was the number 1 security boss in the country.

@AhmedIbrah99223
The Governor of Oyo State is not doing enough to save these children, free these children from their captors

@NCalyz32857
Less talk and more action

@JnrRonaldo12
Keep quiet and show it works sir
