His Imperial Magesty went further to state that while people would take sides with Politicians and develop permanent enmity or deep grudges for the supporters of the adverse party, the Politicians never take their differences personal and always know
how to reconcile behind closed doors. He therefore advised all Nigerians to learn 
how to allow Politicians settle their Political differences without interference or 
unnecessary sensationalisation of issues.

Oba Akiolu also spoke glowingly of the Celebrant, Mrs. Folashade Ashafa and her husband. He said “that Senator Gbenga Ashafa could only have achieved so much
in all his years in of public service as Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands 
in Lagos State and then as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria without any 
stain to his reputation because he has a good wife who gives him peace and keeps 
the home front solid.”
