"I'll not lie to anyone. I'm involved in Yoruba traditional spiritual practices, and I will not enter Jahannam (hellfire) because I'm Yoruba. Both my parents are Yoruba, I was born and raised in Yorubaland, and I still live in Yorubaland. Therefore, the Yoruba spirituality is part of my identity, and I can benefit from it for the rest of my life." — Alfa Bamidele declares.

You waged war against other religions, preached religious intolerance, and encouraged the erasure of Yoruba culture and traditions. Look at where it has gotten us. Innocent children are in captivity, and you are all in hiding after introducing this nonsense into our society. This is not Islam.

Adeniji, launched a fiery attack on Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for snubbing the event. She revealed that an invitation was sent to the governor, but for the second time, no representative from his office bothered to show up. She made it clear that Think Yoruba First is not lobbying for contracts or seeking favours. This is about the future of Yoruba land. "We are not playing. Nobody is lobbying for contracts. This is about Yoruba issue, and it is expected that when we knock, they should answer," she said, her voice sharp with disappointment. The audience erupted in applause as she called out the governor's disregard for a movement fighting for Yoruba unity, security, and development.
