To begin with, we should try and take a gander at his code word of youngsters, as indicated by him. I’m sure that Ayu realizes that anybody who has gone over the age of 18 is a grown-up in this country. Our constitution says as much.
“And afterward men are holding liabilities, men are acting in their workplaces. Men are areas of strength for holding the interest of this country. Everything Ayu can manage is to allude to them as youngsters. I think it is exceptionally sad. Indeed, even his own child who is past 23, 30 years by and large; Ayu can’t address him like that, on the grounds that such an individual is a grown-up and is responsible to himself.”
In the interim, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, rebuked the party chiefs and partners to overlook the emergency and “spotlight on the higher perspective as opposed to the little picture.”
