“The group in a statement signed by TOP Chairman, Adelowo Adebiyi, on Monday, sounded a note of warning to the APC leader who according to them ‘have embraced a fair-weather friend, who is carrying the albatross of complicity in the death of our leader, Chief Bola Ige.’

‘Officials initially offered to help but when the number of able-bodied citizens at the centre increased, they left us unattended to’
“If Governor Gboyega Oyetola will not mind being an associate of an alleged murderer and sponsor of many killings in the state, we at the TOP will not join him and we are telling the whole world that we are not going to join those dancing on uncle Bola Ige’s grave with his alleged killers.”
