Oluwo said: “My palace is opened for all and sundry, irrespective of social, religious and political affiliation. Occassionally, I move the palace to the aged who have less strength to walk to the Palace. Aside prayer, I give them money. I lift their spirit and restore their hope. That is how God taught me to be doing and I will continue to improve on the quality of service to my people.”
“I went round the town today, to give my subjects, poor or rich some Royal hugs, empower, motivate and inspire them all. I gave them some cash gifts with words of hope that, there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
