“They deserve our prayers because they are good leaders that have shown us love and care, and God said, ‘If any good man, especially those that considers people living with disabilities, widows and vulnerable in the society, should fall on sick bed, He will raise him up so that he can continue his good work’. On this belief, we have declared that by His mercies, our affected leaders amongst other Covid-19 patients in Anioma, Delta State, Nigeria and the world at large, are healed.”
