Man of God, forget about the election. You have a great career as a Pastor. Focus on the ministry. Governors, kings and others in the society will come to seek your views and advice. Please be wise sir.
Is a really a man of God? Did God asked him to contest? If yes, then God must have told him he will loose and be shamed. He should never have associated himself again with Osho pikin, the same man he insulted him and the so called call of God upon him.
Rubbish pls let’s discuss another matter there is no time
