He said "It is not all the youths that we had at the EndSARSprotest, it is only a section of the youths. Some youths also opposed them too".

" Can't you remember some youths opposed them? So, it is plus minus. Infact, some youths in the North they marched that they want SARS. Have you forgotten?"

"So when you talk of youths, youths does not end in Lagos. You people should always get out of Lagos. Nigeria is not Lagos" he said
