” Who is he? I don’t know him (Hundeyin) . In our place, we have a saying that ‘small something dey shake’. When people like that talk, the best thing to do is to ignore them. Honestly, I don’t know him”

” I repeat, Asiwaju is not a defendant in the matter. When some of these people get to the Law School, they will understand what we are saying. If they are not satisfied with my position on the issue, they should let us meet in court instead of making noises and crying all about” Keyamo said.
