Correct Option: C
The disagreement was about the subject-verb agreement rule in the expression "Ade as well as Jide comes vs. come." The MD and Mr. Guta believed the expression was incorrect, but the principal later explained that this is correct as the singular verb (comes) is used when "as well as" connects two noun subjects. This can be found in chapter 6 of the novel.
