He charged Gbagi, not to be threatened by the powers that be, saying that power belongs to God just as he assured him that they would remember him in their prayers.
“Ours is to pray because God gives power. You may be threatened by people and the power that be may say this is not the person but if God says you are the one, nobody can stop you”.

He called on the delegates to make and take the right decisions as aspirants come to present themselves to them.
“A number of things that I want to do in this State, I have gone to research on them and to know where we are”.
In Ughelli, Gbagi, said: ‘I will emaciate our youths, the middle age and our men and women, we will touch their lives positively for the growth and good of the state.
