The warrior team, led by its coordinator, Pastor Jeremiah Eze, had while presiding during the prayer session, told the traders that those who believed in God will not experience hardship and downfall in their businesses again.

"Today is the end to your backwardness, your hardship and fall in your businesses, the evil spirit and physical powers retrogressing your businesses will end today. God is hearing our prayers on to your head, only if you can believe.

"Stop your evil ways and embrace God as your protector and giver of life for you to make heaven," he enjoined them.

In his prayer,  themed,  "Change in garment", that  denotes change from one's bad character, the way you talk, hot temper and push the strange gods away from your life and business, among others, will make one to achieve heaven," he stated.

The ATDA chairman, Chief Charles Ikedi, who turned a prayer warrior during the prayer session, urged all to embrace God to be free from all  evil forces  tormenting them.

"With this prayer that has been held here today, all evils tormenting us have been warded off. It is going to be progress all the way in all we do in the market, homes, offices, among others. There will not be sudden death, no member will die, we will not bury anybody in this market this year," he prayed.

On Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo's achievements in two years he stated that the governor has performed excellently on security, roads, among others and sighted  the former bad portion at Inland door axis, Nkpor, along Umuoji/Nnobi road and Ochanja market round-about as reference  points of roads being rehabilitated by the governor.

His words, "What the governor did in two years surpassed what others did in eight years. I said it that his achievements will speak for him come the 2025 gubernatorial election.

"I also commend the governor for choosing ASMATA PG, Chief Humphrey Anuna, to head traders in the state. He made a good choice as the PG, Chief Humphrey Anuna who was once the chairman of ATDA, was instrumental to what we are enjoying in our market today..

"We commend the PG for remembering us at ATDA, where he started to climb to ASMATA as PG. He has directed that the free medicare currently going on will be rounded up in our market instead of ASMATA secretariat where it was earlier scheduled to hold. It is a mark of honour to us," he stated.
