“We will give a handsome reward to any informant and the source of our information will be well protected and reward will also be done in secret.
“I ask our people to go about their normal businesses to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and to put their hope positively for 2021.

“Let us be very vigilant, let us also be prayerful. It is my prayer for you and your families that 2021 will be a very fruitful and rewarding year.
“I implore you to celebrate in peace and show kindness to your neighbours, to the downtrodden, to the widows, to the sick.
“God in his infinite, despite the challenges of 2020 has been kind to us as a state, indeed we have really developed and this we must thank God almighty for and thank each of you, my destiny helpers and those at home, our destiny helpers.
“All the challenges that are happening are the signs of the end time, it is not peculiar to Nigeria, it is all over the world, so let us be very watchful, let us be very prayerful, let us be very forgiving, let us also work very hard so that by the time our Lord Jesus Christ will come which nobody knows when, we will not be found wanting but we will be with him, celebrating with him” he stated.
