Ebebi said, “Victory belongs to God. It is God that knows what will happen on the 31st of October. I’m working; some of my people are working towards victory. We are praying to God to give us victory.
“I’m not scared at all. You can look at my face; I’m not scared at all. You can check out my history; I’m not scared of any human being. I have fought some political battles in this state. So, whoever is doing anything should know that I’m not scared of anybody. I’m a product of God; I’m a child of God.”
