In an interview with Symfoni, Adebayo discussed governance, the performance of President Bola Tinubu's administration, and recent political developments, including the Osun State election. He acknowledged Wike's commitment to work and credited him with driving infrastructure projects in the FCT, but expressed reservations about his public communication and approach to political disagreements.
