Also speaking, Bro Felix Ikperhe, the Chairman GKS Yenagoa Zone, explained that Freedom Day was a reminder that Christian life is a continuous journey of moral discipline.

Bro David Ukuta, the Secretary, GKS Azikoro branch, encouraged youths to rise above societal pressures and live distinctive Christian lives, modeling righteousness, integrity, and biblical convictions in their conduct, choices, and peer interactions.

Mr. Fred Obuah, an invitee, called on all Christians to dedicate time to learn from the word of God, noting that it is the guideline to live a worthy Christian life
