According to him, witches and wizards in the state came together and dragged him to their court in the state.
“As a state named after God, it is important that we build an altar for God, our Father. Are you aware that all the witches and wizards came together and took us to court for building a worship centre? We won them and they have gone on appeal.
”Look let me tell you, God has been benevolent to us in Akwa Ibom. The least we can do is to build a temple for Him,” the Governor added.
