Speaking through his Deputy Prof. Ngozi Nma Odu, Governor Fubara said, “As a Government prayers of the saints have sustained us otherwise we would have been gone over a year ago, but because of your fervent prayers God has sustained us, and we believe that God will continue to sustain us because you will not cease to pray for us”. The Governor stressed.
The State Chief Executive who disclosed that anything that has to do with the Church excites him, congratulated, Rt. Rev’D. Hanson Bernard on his enthronement as the 2nd Bishop Diocese of Ahoada, noting that he who God picks, He equips.
“You may think you are not worthy but before the eyes of the Lord you are, and so shall you become one of the greatest Bishops from this part of the country”. The State Chief Executive quipped.

In his sermon drawn from Matthew Chapter 28 :19 to 20, Rt. Rev’D. Hanson Onyejiuwanaka Bernard the Bishop of Diocese of Ahoada said as Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded us in the Great Commission, his focus would be on Evangelism and Soul Wining, stressing that every 3rd Sunday of the month would be observed as Evangelism Sunday where the Church would go out for Evangelism after a brief Sunday service.
He identified unity, love, righteousness, transparency and accountability as ingredients for growth, noting that the Church is poised to go into investments to support the spread of the Gospel. Highlight of the occasion was the Governor’s donation of fifty million naira to support the Church.
