Hence when it was time to install a new Chairman of the faith community, he was chosen and presented to the founder of the community, Boanerge Okibou Okosuwei as the one whose head is fit to wear the crown of chairmanship. The revered founder glad-heartedly welcomed the choice of Mr Peter and blessed him.

The event was drawn to a close with prominent elders and leaders giving counsel to the new executive members on the need to work and consult with the outgoing executives on how to run the affairs of their various offices effectively, and the outgoing executives were also advised to cooperate with the new executives in running the affairs of the community.

The new community chairman, Comr. Peter Asaba, in his speech appreciated the community for the privilege to serve the community and pleaded with the outgoing executives to cooperate with him to make things better for the Christian community.
