I know Delta State House of Assembly is Sheriffied. I am assuring all of you that this Seventh Assembly will finish strong.You  can see how this country is bleeding, we have a bad government in place at the moment with  bad policies. We will continue to pray, asking for a perfect will of God be done and I believe come 2023, the will of God will be done and our nation will be great again. You have to be wise and to be very prayerful for a peaceful elections next year".
