For the special thanksgiving prayer program, the state’s chairman said that the entire people of different religions in the state deserve to give thanks to God as He has answered prayers in taking control of the elections and leadership seats both at the state and federal level.

His statement: “The entire people of different religions in the state deserve to give thanks to God.  For us God deserves our appreciation and special thanks. Firstly, we prayed to God over a four-year period since 2011 till the elections of 2015, that God should give us a Christian governor to succeed His Excellency Babatunde Raji Fashola, after sixteen years of our sincere and faithful support for two successive Muslim governors. Indeed God answered our prayers!
