10. He preferred to be known as "Rough" in his younger years and claimed to be a Marxist

11. He claimed to have graduated as an Engineer and in his INEC form during his first attempt as governor claimed to be a graduate of engineering studies and also used the title engineer up till Omisore exposed him as a fraud. In his re-election form , he entered WASC as his highest academic qualifications dropping his engineering graduate claim. He has since stopped using the title "Engineer" after the Engineering Guild officially wrote him to stop parading himself as one of them.

12. He was until his appointment as Lagos state commissioner for works a refrigerator technician and part time voodoo priest who combined traditional voodoo practice with mystical Islamic rites and was a personal soothsayer to Tinubu.

13. He has constructed more failed engineering projects than any governor. His quakery is evident in Osun state where he currently Lords over with collapsed buildings dotting the landscape and charcoal coated roads.
