The ex-customs chief described the closure of the nation’s land borders as needless, insisting that the whole northern part of the country was borderless.The lawmaker also condemned the invasion of homes and shops by customs official for seizure of cars, wondering why they allowed the vehicles to gain entrance in the first place. He expressed worry over high debt portfolio of Osun, rationalising that the burden was weighing heavily on Governor Gboyega Oyetola to deliver good governance.

Fadahunsi pointed out that the state “must account for the about N182 billion debt and the $20 million grant for health.” He claimed: “Even with the deduction from source, Oyetola can not repay the debt before the end of his tenure.” Maintaining that the hate speech bill pending at the federal legislature is undemocratic, the legislator asserted that journalists were the last hope of the common man and not the judiciary. He therefore urged media practitioners not to relent in exposing corrupt leaders and bad policies, noting that it was the duty of journalists to speak for the voiceless.

The senator added: “Nigeria is not clinically dead but bodily dead. How will you close borders when we have many Nigerians living in neighbouring countries, including Cameroun, Benin Republic and Ghana?” (The Guardian)
