Mr Guta was angry with Mr Fafore and wanted to get him fired simply because he spotted a supposed "grammatical error" in his son's note.

The grammatical rule that was the source of disagreement is the "subject-verb agreement rule" with the expression "Ade as well as Jide comes vs. come." Mr Guta and the MD believed that Mr Fafore had taught the children the wrong thing when he instructed his students to write "Ade as well as Jide comes" in their notes.

This can be found in chapter six of the novel.
