His call alone was very encouraging to me. Even his wife Her Excellency called me more than twice to check upon me to know whether I am still strong. I thank them alot and I pray God to enrich them with more wisdom to continue to take wise decisions for our dear state.
“By next year or any moment from now, I should be thinking of a bigger thing, a different thing to do to continue to make my fans proud. The main thing is to keep the pace high, keep giving your fans the best because to who much is given, much is expected.
“If my fans can be turning up like this in their thousands even under the rain, that means I have to leave up my creativity for them”, he stated.
