Put God First in All Things, Okowa Charges Oborevwori, Delta Governor-Elect At Thanksgiving Service - TELL Magazine

Put God First in All Things, Okowa Charges Oborevwori, Delta Governor-Elect At Thanksgiving Service

Delta State Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, has expressed gratitude to the people of the state for using their ballots to give the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Sheriff Oborevwori, victory in Saturday’s governorship election.

A visibly elated Governor Okowa disclosed that the presidential and governorship election taught him new lessons, and promised to offer the best of advice to the in-coming administration in the state.
.
He particularly expressed deep appreciation to his predecessor, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, for the role he played in uniting the party.

Speaking on Monday at a thanksgiving service at Government House Chapel in Asaba, shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Oborevwori as governor-elect, the governor attributed the party’s victory to God’s grace.

He therefore charged the governor-elect and his deputy, Monday Onyeme, to put God first in all their activities, and assured them that they would record successes if they governed with the fear of God.

According to him, “Today is a glorious day in the sight of God because of what we went through since Saturday, March 18. We thank God for leading us to victory.

“I thank all Deltans who have been out there campaigning for us, the PDP. I thank all of you for coming to rejoice with the governor-elect, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, and the deputy governor-elect, Sir Monday Onyeme.

“We have come here to dance and to sing praises to God for what He has done in our lives. I thank all our leaders, our women and all our youth for working so hard towards the victory of our party (PDP).

“My greatest joy today is that l am sure that this altar of God will stay alive”.

Okowa appealed to all House of Assembly members-elect, leadership of the PDP and other stakeholder to rally round Oborevwori to enable him achieve set goals.

While commending Deltans for their support in the last eight years, he promised to remain committed to doing more till his last day in office as governor.

“As l thank you all, l must also thank Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan for the roles he played in uniting aggrieved members of the party in the build-up to the elections.

“In these last two weeks, God has taught me a lot of lessons and it is my prayer that you (the governor-elect) will not make some of the mistakes that we made,” he stated.

To those that defected before and during the electoral contest, the governor wished them well, and declared that he held no grudge against anyone.

Congratulating the governor-elect and his deputy, Okowa urged them to relate more with the people at the grassroots, just as he also urged Deltans to work with the governor-elect and his deputy so as to sustain the tempo of sustainable socio-economic and infrastructural growth and development in the state.

In an interview, the governor-elect, said he was overwhelmed by the support of Deltans at the polls, and promised to justify the confidence reposed in him.
