Speaking at his hometown, Ifetedo, Osun State on Friday at the official commissioning of the remodeled Central mosque he bankrolled, Ali noted that there are provisions in the law that can deal with inept leaders. ”I have always been an advocate that a single six-year tenure is good for our system.
