In a brief remark, Abdullahi said: “We have come to commiserate with the victims, to commistrate with our father, Balogun Alanamu and to also see what we can do to support the people.

“As you can see, since the incident of Alanamu happened, you can see that politicians that we have never saw before have been falling over themselves to proof now that they have been generous to the people.

“But for us, we have come home to commistrate with our people, so it is not about the politics of today.”
