“Keniebi Okoko is a youth and he is a self-made person. He doesn’t have so much political encumbrances, no political baggage and he is a very nice product to market.
“It is not like a bad product that you need to put extra effort and that is why you see people like us left the restoration government to come and support him.
“As women and custodian of our culture, I want you people to look deeper on all the candidates and x-ray them properly and you people should pressurize to making sure that the old things are not brought to bear on us again.
“Look through all the candidates and at the end of the day please support our candidate Pastor Keniebi Okoko, he will take us to glory land” he said.
