In his sermon tagged 'the corrected impression', Rev'd Abidoye Hezekiah of Oke-Ayegun Baptist Church charged the politicians and the political gladiators in the country to visit health facilities to ascertain the levels of the sick persons, adding that the love of God over His people can never be quantified.
The cleric also asked son of the late Abigail and his siblings to immortalise their mother because she lived a life of service to God and humanity.
