Addressing the people of the state, Aiyedatiwa said, “At this juncture, permit me to say that only God almighty has explanations for what happened in the last few months.

‘’When nature sets in to hinder human performance, it is always a painful thing. We must acknowledge that the key to the well-being of a man is in the hands of God. It is not for us as humans to question God but to pray for His mercies upon our lives.
