Dan Obo in the upcoming elections was prompted by this exposure. I hereby declare that, with God’s grace, I will fully acknowledge the magnitude of the challenges that confront us as young people and make every effort to meet these challenges head-on.”
“As Chairman of NYCN-CRS, I will be sharing with you in the next days some of the plans and programmes that I will be pursuing, along with the actions that we intend to take to keep our beloved State in the spotlight. In order for us to complete this enormous task, I sincerely ask for your help, prayers, and contribution.”
