The Gov. of Taraba State, Agbu Kafas, shared a story about his childhood, that he used to work as a hospital security guard when he was still a primary school pupil.
He said this while speaking as a preacher at a church conference in Yola, Adamawa State.
The group is the parent body of The Praise Church.
Kefas said he has always looked for ways to earn money and help the people around him.
He told the audience that people come from God and are on earth to add value.
Agbu has stated that he gave his life to Jesus at age 14, and that decision shaped how he sees selflessness.
Now as governor, he says he sees himself as a servant of God and wants to live out his purpose.
On his sermon theme, which was about serving humanity, he said God wants believers to move beyond ceremony and show real compassion through practical service.
He said he has never lacked anything because he always found work to do.
He also spoke about the pressures of office.
Report also said that people often insult him online, including children, and that he took the job by his own choice.
He described the role as one that takes sacrifice.
He said he sleeps only two or three hours a day since he took office in May 2023, and that people who see him gaining weight wrongly assume he is enjoying himself.
He added that he finds no joy in being shielded from ordinary people and prefers being greeted on the street by those who appreciate his work.
The event was the 2026 edition of the group’s International Kingdom Conference, which ended on Sunday in Yola.
Its spiritual head, Archbishop Calvin Antonza, presided over the programme.
