When God's time comes, they cannot stop me. They succeeded now because it's not God's time,' he said.The donor urged Governor Sullivan Chime to extend his wonderful work in the state to his community. 'Our people are basically farmers and you can see how terrible the roads are. I urged the governor to extend his wonderful works to the community, given the deplorable state of roads in the area,' he said.Receiving the transformer, the traditional ruler of the community, Igwe Peter Eje, expressed happiness that the transformer would boost the ongoing electricity project in the community'I commend the donor on this kind gesture and urge other wealthy citizens of the community to emulate him.'I pledged that the transformer will be put into judicious use,' he said
