The Governor Delta State, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa, on Sunday charged Nigerians to extol God always to enable Him bless the nation and people more.
He gave the charge at a thanksgiving service for Chief Efe Afe, member of House of Representatives, representing Uvwie, Okpe, Sapele constituency at Omega Fire Ministries, Effurun.
According to Okowa God will always reward those who give Him thanks.
He commended the lawmaker for recognising that power came from God.
"I want to thank God for this day; whatever we are today is because of God; no one can give position except it comes from God.
"Hon. Afe, it is good that you have come to give thanks to Him; that is what is expected of a good Christian, because what God requires is patience as He knows the right time to act.
"I believe that for each and everyone of us who has recognised the roles God is playing in our path, He will not let us down," Okowa said.
In his sermon earlier, the Resident Pastor of the church, Goodluck Ebireri, urged Christians to have faith in God no matter the circumstances.
He said, "no matter the chanlleges, you must have faith in God because with your faith in Him, He will preserve your life."
The Deputy Governor, Mr Burutu Otuaro, Speaker of the state's House of Assembly, Chief Sheriff Oborovweri, Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Chief Ndudi Elumelu, were among dignitaries who graced the event.

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...

The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
