“It was brought to my attention that Dr. Debo Akande, an old friend, brother (after all, we are both from Ibadan), and the Director General of Oyo State Agribusiness Development Agency, as well as the Executive Adviser to His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, had filed a petition against me”.
“First, I want to express my appreciation to him for choosing this course of action. Given his position, he could have resorted to doing me a Dadi Yata, but he opted for the right and lawful approach”.

I also want to thank my lawyer; I had initially thought I could handle the situation alone, but his legal guidance saved me from making critical mistakes. Truly, we all need a lawyer”.
“This matter is far from over, as I plan to file a counter-petition requesting an investigation into the activities of OYSADA under Dr. Debo Akande’s leadership”.
“This time, the approach will be different”.
