“It has been my lifelong ambition that anytime the Nigerian Navy discharges me and when I decide to start traveling out of Nigeria, the first place I so wish to visit is Mecca and Medina to give thanks to God Almighty for the journey so far, before visiting the rest of the world. Once again!

“I appreciate God for making this possible for me. This is Saudi Arabia (Medina) my first voyage out of Nigeria.

“My fans have been my greatest strength and I pray that may you all experience a prosperous new year by the grace of God.

“Season greetings from Alhaji, honourable Ambassador Abdulgafar Ahmed Abiola
