“It is important to warn the young men who think that the only way to rise is to bring people down, whatever one sow he shall reap.
“The way and manner God brought us to leadership is not what we have to joke with, very exceptional and we are not going to change.
“There is the need, to be honest about Christianity, I have looked through many homes in my Community and other homes, the moment the man leaves his home to other homes, the marriage is dead.”
