“What can i say, it’s the will of God all that I want to say is to encourage my regional chairman and that he has to be strong in this trying times. These are just trying times for every human being so God has a way of testing the faith of people”, He added.
The minister further appealed to all philanthropists and all well wishes to come to the aid of the Regional chairman.
“We have to find a way of helping him to bring him up again because i don’t think this house can be renovated again, looking at how the walls are all weak. It means it now calls for a complete new building.
