@omotolosho14: “In case you don’t know him, he was a Muslim song writer and a singer before he become special assistant on artist matter of Kwara state, he as also call out past government for incompetent and mismanage state fund, he campaigned for the current government in the state and as things are right now in the state nothing has really change from the past government,
So in my opinion I think his trying close door, maybe all his effort is not yielding any results as we all know one three cannot make a forest 🌳, so baba decided to resign in other not to be part of the government, which I think that is the best to do just like abdul lateef abdul akeem in Lagos state that year.”
