Furthermore,Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem, as the capital of Israel, was indeed a giant step in the global history, without any doubt, is a bona fide territory of the nation of Israel.
“All these great achievements of this mighty man of history, President Trump, coupled with enormous persecutions against him, as a result of unprecedented hatred, envy, jealousy, bias, selfishness and wickedness, by many people in the world, Democrats, media houses and more seriously the witches who even cursed him several times and did their best to cause confusion among people with him, made me to declare a prayer march for him and seek God’s intervention for his victory at last.

S President contracted the Coronavirus disease (COVID -19), and prayed for him.
According to him, he was encouraged by the disposition of Trump in joining politics despite being a billionaire in 2016, essentially to address moral decadence in the U. S, including the Same- sex marriage, securing the porousness of the country’s territory against the activities of the illegal immigrants coming in at will, and his rebuilding the U.S agenda.
In their speeches, Nwanolue, Ajunwa, Achukwusi, among others opined that Trump had given the U.S pride of place which needed sustenance and consolidation in the eyes of Christiandom.
