“I hope you can also see the road that is ongoing from Saki through Ogbooro to Igboho. I want to assure you that it will also be completed soon.
“So, I thank you all for coming out to encourage me for the second term bid. But let us leave all of that to God. The prayer I want everyone to continue praying is that the will of God should prevail, because that was the prayer we prayed for the first term election.
