The Governor said that the church has a duty to pray for the country and its leaders during these challenging times and to impact the gospel on the youths.

“The church must pray fervently for the nation,for the revival of its fortune, the church has a lot of roles to play in the country, we need to pray for the nation to get out of where we are today., pray for things that will impact on the nation and turn it around”, he said.

“ The church having helped to build the nation must impact the gospel on the youths, give them hope that tomorrow will be better than today and we will overcome the challenges”. He added.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity.
