Former Governor Obi said Nigeria was going through the most difficult time in her life and appealed for prayer for the country and President Muhammadu Buhari, away from the country receiving medical attention. Corps Marshal, Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi said Nigerians should not be tired in praying for the country to move forward, just as they should not relent in praying and supporting the government of President Buhari to take the country where it should be economically and politically. In his speech Chief Chidioka, said: “Today we are celebrating the faithfulness of God to the family of Chidioka, He has been faithful in providing all we need in our family, our father will turn 90 years on November 9, 2016 and he pleaded that the birthday gift he want us to give him is the hall we have commissioned today.”
