This morning, I commissioned a 430-capacity, 20-classroom and 2 staff rooms project renovated by an Alumnus of the University of Benin Staff Primary School, Bovi Ugboma.

The donor is also an international stand-up comedian.

Despite my tight schedule coupled with the short notice, I made it important to be there to encourage him and other like minds.

I laud his courage and the initiative for being responsible to give back to his Alma mater.

Congratulations to you Bovi. I charge your friends like ‘I Go Die’ and others to emulate you and do the same if not better.

I pray that God will continue to prosper you, equip you and protect you from all evils as you go on with your daily activities because we want you to stay alive to keep doing this.

For the children, God will bless all of you – I’m seeing great men amongst you but please don’t forget to do something like this in the future

To have a better future in this country, I took the platform to advise everyone to pray that God appoints us a good leader this coming election.

Let’s leave sentiments apart and genuinely pray for a good leader.

I will not tell you who to vote for, God will reveal to you the right choice when it’s time just get your PVC to vote for the right people.

The danger is that the country is already collapsing, but please, be part of a new thing for the country.

God bless Bovi and bless you all.
