He added, “Expectedly, this year’s convention is special and groundbreaking for me, being the first hosted by this administration and practically marks our first anniversary in office. It hasn’t been an easy ride, but so far, we’ve enjoyed a great deal of support and encouragement from all— including past leaders, serving leaders at all levels, and most importantly, the Congress, which has enabled us to scale through a lot of the hurdles we have met on our way here.
“We cannot thank you all enough for your continued support and it is my prayer that God Almighty also provides you with the needed support in all of your endeavors.”
The National President also expressed gratitude for the great relationship the National Executive has enjoyed with the Judicial and Legislative arms of the movement, stating that most of the feats achieved under his administration wouldn’t have been made possible if not for the cooperation and support of National Chairman and the ‘wisdom of the gray-haired Body of Founders’.
