On his part, another university teacher, Prof. Adebayo Shittu from Egbe Alagun, Oke Sopen, Ijebu Igbo wrote: “Kindly permit me to start this comment by stating that nothing heals wounds of whatever form or source more that the truth and fairness. No wonder the Rotarians start their 4way test with the question – Is It The Truth? The Bible also asserts that and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
“Our Warrant Chiefs have done us proud! Despite all the behind-the-scene efforts to cause them to ignore the truth and fairness, they stood by the truth, and have been fair to all. With their noble action, God has used them to set our dear town free, and we are now free indeed.
“I therefore, join you to plea with all and sundry that we should please in the Name of God, the Almighty, find grace to forgive one another. To err is human, and to forgive is not just divine. It is God’s requirements from all to get our own sins permanently forgiven.
“Kindly let’s note that whatever happened might have been allowed by God, possibly to teach each and every one of us some lessons. May His will be fulfilled in our individual lives and community. It is well! Congratulations to all of us, and Happy Jubilations.
