But you must know, that God created you for what you are doing now. I have listened to you speak numerous times and I’ve watched your growth, from the first time I saw you, I knew you are going places and once God is with you, no man can stop you.”

“My prayer for you is that your superiors will continue to trust you and encourage you to excel. That was my father’s prayer for me as I was growing up. That my Bosses will trust me and help me to grow. So I say the same prayer for you today.

“May the land of Ezeagu upon which you are standing keep protecting you and opening great doors for you. You are one politician in Ezeagu that has shown exceptional respect for the Traditional Rulers and we will continue to pray for you”.

The highlight of the event was when the traditional rulers called out Hon Obieze to stand before them and they showered him with their blessings and prayers.

“Please call on us whenever you need our guidance,” they said.
