“We were there to pray for him and to tell us about the allegations made against him, whether true or false.
“He has cleared the air that there was no iota of truth in what some people decided to put out against him and that he was ready to prove himself and to go all out with them.
“If there is an allegation there must be an evidence. That we should see it as rubbish and that it can never happen with him and will never happen,” he said .

nobody should toy with the innocent that are faithfully serving the nation adding that whole country will rise up to fight for him.
