He expressed hope that the Corona virus scourge in the country would come to pass in no distant time.
According to him, I have emptied my personal account to make sure this happened and by God’s grace by next week Monday and again in two weeks time, I shall do another round of giving to the poor in our society.
“I urge those who have to give out to others as givers never lack. I am overwhelmed when I saw over 4,000 people ready to collect food and praised God that I thought it wise to do the food apostolate.
“I have taken the lead, others in the mission should follow.
“I am sure soon Coronavirus will be a thing of the past, because Jesus Christ died for us that we may live, I urge Nigerians and Christians to have hope in Jesus Christ.
“We shall overcome Coronavirus because with hope and faith , we are more than conquerors. Coronavirus shall come to an end. God heal your people in Jesus name Amen,” he said.
