Speaking on the occasion of the 63rd independence anniversary, Leader Obu said the challenges facing the country would be over and the country shall not experience war.

“On this day that has been set aside to celebrate the independence of our great nation Nigeria, I will give all thanks to the Holy Father for sustaining this country and bringing us this far because.

“If not for the fact that the Holy Spirit is living physically in Nigeria, this nation would have crumbled by now.

“As I congratulate Nigerians on her 63rd independence, the good news I have for you is that, Nigeria shall not see war,” he said.
