According to him; “I’m most overwhelmed seeing you all here today. Today makes it 2years and 1month that we have not had a gathering like this. And I must confess to you all that, I’m so happy to see your beautiful and handsome faces. This shows that you all truly love me, because if you don’t love me, you will not be here today. And I love you all in Jesus name. Amen.
“I know you all have been hearing different news here and there and people have been saying so many things. But all I can tell you all is to remain calm. God is on the throne and He alone can direct each and every of our steps.
“2023 is in the hands of God and God will give power to whom He has chosen. Whatever name they are calling, please always remain calm. We are not in competition with anyone. I believe in God that, when it’s time, He alone will direct our steps and we will differentiate men from boys.
“My people of Ndokwa nation, please tell our people and those involved in the politics of pull him down syndrome to desist from it. Because he who God has blessed, no man can cause.
“Please take this message home to everyone that, when the appointed time of God comes, we are going to move from community to community, local government to local government to decide who will represent us in any of the elective positions across Ndokwa nation. We will move from Ukwuani, Ndokwa East and Ndokwa West to choose a representative that’s ready to identify with his/her constituents.”
