"Those of us in leadership positions must guard
against arrogance, people flatter us and in the end, we sideline those who will
tell us the truth," the governor said, adding, "ever leader must be
careful of who they take advice from, listen to contrary views even when we do
not like their guts."
He commended the theme for the synod which is,
'Finishing Strong,' observing, "the principle of finishing strong runs
across the Bible because, God wants us to finish strong and finish well., it is
not about how you start but, how you finish."

"As Christians, we must be strong and of good
courage, it is all about our relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ, with
what is happening around us, it is time to unite, it is time for committing
ourselves to prayers," the Governor who was accompanied to the service by
his wife, Dame Edith, and political office holders said.
Earlier in a sermon, Rt. Revd. Andrew Igenoza had
said, "finishing strong is beyond the principal, it is spiritual, be ready
to finish strong by being in the Lord."
