''It is only God that we beg and call on and you are that kind of person that knows God, without much Ado, all that is needed to rule this country, God has granted you, so you are qualified.
''You will get there since you came for prayers, but don't forget Osogbo. If you get there and remember our requests, we will also know what to do. I don't gossip, publish it in newspapers.
''President, may you succeed, may you prevail, and come back to appreciate us.''
