Recalling their relationship Oju-Kienmie said he was one person that was very happy over her nomination to be vice chairman of the LGA and was always there for her family.
“He was one of the persons who was deeply happy for my lifting by God through the instruments he used. He encouraged me in all ramifications.
“He was there for me just as he was there for my late parents Elder and Mrs Anthony Oju-Kienmie and my siblings and all. They loved him in return and never eluded him of parental blessings in cash and kind,” Oju-Kienmie said.

In a sermon, the Divisional Commander, Lt. Col. Benson Mgbebuihe, urged Christians to be wary of where they will spend their eternity, urging them to stay away from evil.
“Whether you die now or later, where you spend your eternity matters. Now that you are alive, you have the opportunity to amend your ways.
“God expects us to live righteously because devil is looking for people to capture with him to hell. After death there will be judgement. Everything we do in this life Angels are taking record as every man will appear before the judgement throne of God”, he stated.
