The Governor of Delta State, Senator (Dr.)  Ifeanyi Okowa has called on Christians to dedicate their lives to serving God.

He made the call on Saturday at the dedication of St. John's Anglican Church and a Vicarage at Ibabu, Ndokwa West Local Government Area of the state.  The church was built by Sir Monday Onyeme, Chairman,  Delta State Board of Internal Revenue.

According to the governor, "building for the Lord is the best gift you can give when God blesses you.

“Building physical structures for the Lord is good, but, the greatest gift you can give  is what you do in your heart; my prayer is that the prayers said in this place will uplift the people.

“Christians must continue to pray for the state and Nigeria, no matter the challenge, it is not time to grumble, it is time to pray for God to turn things around for our nation; we will continue to do more roads.”

He commended Sir Onyeme for donating such edifice to the Church assuring that his administration will construct a six classroom block for Anglican Grammar School, Obiaruku.

Bishop of Ndokwa Diocese of the Anglican Communion, Rt. Rev. David Obiosa, in a sermon, said, “the whole duty of man is to serve the Lord; we are here for the dedication of this church and the vicarage built by Sir Monday Onyeme for a purpose; it is building a place for prayer for the worship of God who made us and has continued to empower us.

He commended the donors of the church building and urged the people to utilise the church to seek the face of God. 

Some of those who were at the event include Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and other top government functionaries.

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. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
