“The Bible says that this is the doing of the Lord and it is marvelous in our eyes; this is a wonderful year; we went through elections; the tribunal, everything went well; and we saw victory.

 “The vice president survived a crash in February; like we reflected in the message, God is a God of advanced knowledge; he knows about Nigeria.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre
