If I want to immodest, I will say that Christians comprising all the denominations in the country are more than 60 per cent, and I am saying that without any fear of contradiction.

Their behavior shows their scanty  regard for our votes.  It is a case of once you emerge as PDP candidate, you are in as governor. Well, I blame  this attitude on the present governor who squandered a great opportunity to put a halt on the PDP shenanigans. The governor is  hypocritical, insincere and dishonest and his  governance has  thrown the government house doors wide open.]]></description>
