“Allah does not take away the knowledge, by taking it away from (the heart of) the people, but takes it away by the death of the religious learned men until when none of the (religious learned men) remains, people will take as their leaders ignorant persons who when consulted will give their verdict without knowledge.”
Arisekola’s noted If he had the opportunity to rule Oyo State, he will change many religious centers to vocational centers where people will study Science and Technology.
He said “at 60, the south-west was attacked by thugs, and we don’t have immediate response to annihilate the culprits.”
