“You cannot battle with the Lord. If he has said that he will bring it to pass, so if you plan to amass wealth through public office, God will resist you in 2023 in Jesus’ name, amen.
“Anything you are contesting that you don’t have peace, you have to avoid it. For me, I have left my life to God to manage and to manipulate and I am very convinced that since we could do what we did in Ebonyi State, God will show mercy and we will replicate what we have done here at the National level.
“The Presidency, at this time, is such that if God has not called you, it is going to be very difficult,” the Governor said.
