According to Folowosele, pronto as Hon. Akinsanya heard the case, he ensured a speedy resolution of the matter which led to the speedy unsealing of the place for residents and shop owners who were hitherto stranded due to the lock up action.
“Hon. Akinsanya today proved clearly to be a listening leader who feels the pains of the people.
“Before today’s experience of Hon. Akinsanya, the Executive Chairman of Igando/ Ikotun Local Council Development Area, I lost confidence and trust in political office holders.
“All the residents who witnessed the judgement and clemency of Akinsanya expressed joy and prayed that Akinsanya should excel greatly in the sphere of leadership”, Folowosele noted.

Another witness who did not give his name stressed that though there are cries of displeasure in Nigeria, a grassroots leader like Hon. Akinsanya is a big light brightening the world in the face of darkness, pointing that he is a humanitarian and godly administrator who will do wonders when he moves to higher leadership positions after his tenure as council boss.
