“We, as a people have passed legislation that have provided a veritable platform for His Excellency, the Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa who is a worthy ambassador of the church to deliver on projects across board in our state. I therefore implore the church to be involved in providing perfect leadership”, he stated.
