The cleric alleged that the governors of the seven states he noted will have issues actualising their second term ambition, adding that they must pray fervently “and do all that is needed”.
His words:
“The governors of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Enugu, Cross River, Kaduna, Zamfara, and Ondo must work well to get a second term in office. It’s not certain for them except they work hard and pray. This is a hint of what they should be expecting.
“They need to work very well so that they won’t lose their second-term ambition.”
