“You have followed the footsteps of late Archbishop Benson Idahosa who did a lot in the Pentecostal movement in the state. It is only a true Christian that can achieve such a feat.
” It is not a coincidence that you are the PFN Chairman in the state at the time I was sworn-in for a second term in office. God worked it out this way to enable you to collaborate and work with me to lift the state to an enviable height.”
“We have a lot of work to do together as we collaborate to restore the lost hope and create the needed opportunity for our youths to thrive in the state”.
