According to him, despite all pressures from within and outside the West African sub-Region, he refused to disclose the Messiah.
“But learning from our mistakes and experiences in the past roundtables where our collective decisions and resolutions were misinterpreted and implemented, it seems absolutely necessary for me to disclose the Messiah in waiting who will by His grace, takes us to our Canaan land.
“This Messiah is nobody but Senator Bala Mohammed, the present Governor of Bauchi state of Nigeria,” he said.

“It is very unusual and unexpected of me to come out publicly to announce my choice for Nigeria’s president. But the truth is that Nigeria is presently faced with a very unusual situation with requires a very unusual approach and actions.
“Furthermore, the agents of evil have taken over all facets of Nigeria and as such, it requires programmatic, proactive and timely identification and international support towards 2023 in order to ensure that power changes hand.
“My revered elders and comrades, I will to assure you that Senator Bala Mohammed has the capacity to secure and develop Nigeria and if such a person is gracefully given the opportunity to lead Nigeria, he will graciously and gloriously ensure peace and stability which are necessary ingredients for progress and development.
“This is a man from all indications and ramifications, that exhibits brilliance, intelligence, honesty, transparency, fairness, boldness, courage and humility without religious or ethnic sentimental hoarseness. Above all, he is an embodiment of justice and fear of God.
