"When you fear God, you have moral values and respect for mankind.
You will not embezzle public funds". He said
He called on every Nigerian to see his position as a call to service.
"Public position is not a place where you can stay to loot and kill but a place for service to God and humanities". He explained.
He urged the youths to pray and hope in God's Providence instead of involving in violence.
He thanked President Mohammadu Buhari for releasing COVID 19 palliatives to every state on time but blamed some Governors who hoarded the palliatives until EndSARS came up.
