….“Such people would go to any length to remove people like me, who are pro-masses and bold enough to speak the truth to power on behalf of Nigerians who have no voice.”

….“By Almighty Allah’s Grace, I will be leading my new congregation this Friday, because we need a platform to operate as clerics.”
