I remember calling the sixteen  chairmen of local government in Lagos east, I asked them to check schools that are not conducive for learning and take pictures of them.

After that was done, We made a brochure out of it, I submitted it to the Party chairman, for delivery to the governor because we need to get better education here, without education, we are raising armies of cultists.

The governor has set up a task force to look into it and if I get to the seat, the first thing I will do is pick those bad schools and rebuild them”
