According to him, “We cannot be here and use the stadium like that. We needed to give life to the stadium and that’s the level of renovation you’re seeing going on. Here we are doing painting, we are roofing the stadium. We are also clearing. If you noticed, this place is looking green again”, he added.
He said that the stadium is now having a semblance of life because “we give life wherever we go to as a church”.
