“Today, we are giving out food items to the widows of our late patrons today; Comrade Tunji Adelabu Yussuph and Alhaji Comrade Yekeen Bakare popularly known as Bakky. The items include rice and cooking oil. This we believe will make them happy during this festive period.
The expectation is that we will carry out more of this effort. We have been doing this for more than 20 years ago and we have visited many families in Lagos and Oyo especially widows and the less privileged. After this we want to keep doing more

Therefore, my advice is for people to be faithful in everything.”
