“Bishop Feb Idahosa is one of those young Edo men I respect principally because of his sense of leadership. He can be trusted and has been a friend and supporter of this government.” 

Commending his support for the state government, the governor stated, “I don’t know how we could have succeeded with EdoJobs, one of our pilot programmes, without his support, advice and nurturing. 

“We cannot forget your role in our fight against COVID-19. You mobilized all the men of God to join us in the campaign. You stood out, not only as a pastor but as a public health specialist to give direction in that fight against COVID-19.”
