The Governor in his remarks, appreciated the Christian body for the endorsement and commendation, assuring the body of his government commitment to consolidate on his good works when reelected.

"I want to say a very big thank you and appreciate the Almighty God who has made today possible. This government is actually the government of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We profess and announce it in every gathering. In everything we do, we seek and call upon Jesus Christ.

And so, let me on behalf of a grateful government and party, say a very big thank you to the Church and the leadership of the Church for this endorsement you have given today. We will not take it for granted. It is a motivation for us to do more."
