“I may have many people that are contesting against me but, they believe in the flesh, I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and the church, so, victory is ours; I will continue to thank the church for all they have done for me; the peace we have in Delta State, it is because of the prayers and support of the church,” he stated and called for continuous prayers for the state and the country.
