We must choose to fight together and survive or be indifferent to our common challenges and face extinction"

To this end, I urged all of us to ensure that we collect our PVCs in preparation of the forth coming general elections. Let us not forget to pray for the success of the elections, too". May I also seize this opportunity to appreciate God for successful primary elections and Congresses throughout the state."
