Adams, while giving thanks to God for what he has done in his life charged people of Nigeria to remain committed to fighting for what was right and just irrespective of criticism or victimisation as God was always ready to give reward for such contribution.
“Anything you are doing, continue with it, no matter the criticisms, no matter how people try to victimise you, once you are on the side of the people, at the end of the day, God will reward you. That is exactly what we are seeing here today, it is a reward for the service to the people, the Yoruba people and Nigerians,” he said.
