"Anyway, I am not a staff of the EFCC or ICPC and I wouldn't know if there was money but if at my level I cannot finance a primary then there is a problem somewhere.
"But definitely, God bankrolled me, I bank with the Almighty God.
"I gave them anoiting oil and it did the magic. I just told you that I believe in Philipian 4:19; that God shall supply all my needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. And I am telling you that he did it."
