He said,

"Seriously this 2023 election had the potential to be the most successful in history, but unfortunately, those obedients / Atiku used propaganda to twist the narrative and create negativity.
"Despite this, even the winning candidate did not receive more than 8 million votes, We are grateful to the judges for their clarification and for addressing the concerns we had anticipated. What we are praying for our president is for God's grace and divine breakthrough and focus, for him to be able to implement all he had mapped out for this nation."
