challenges. Pray for him. Pray for the leadership of this country, pray
for the vice president, pray for the governors, even when they are not
doing well, that God will give them the wisdom to improve.

they don’t want development. Pray for them so that they will see
themselves to be working for the people”, he stated.

peace and stability in the North-East and the nation in general, said
the National Assembly would continue to support his efforts in
sustaining lasting peace across the country.
