DELTA State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has expressed gratitude to God for a peaceful and successful primary election process, and for the unity, stability and support for his administration.
Oborevwori, speaking during a morning devotion service at the Government House Chapel in Asaba, on Tuesday, May 26, said he had come to appreciate God for His faithfulness and the peaceful atmosphere that pervaded throughout the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in the state.
The governor said thanksgiving had remained a consistent practice for him after every victory, regardless of circumstances, adding: “I want to thank God today for keeping us to this day, for all that He has done for us and for the show of love that Deltans have shown to this administration.”
Quoting Psalm 100, verse 4, he said believers should enter God’s presence with thanksgiving and praise; hence “I have come here to return the glory to God who has made everything possible. No crisis, no fights, nothing. Everything went peacefully,” saying it was one of the best the state had witnessed in recent times and experiences from previous election cycles made the peaceful outcome even more significant.
The governor also encouraged people to remain thankful for life, health and God’s blessings, cautioning against idolising political leaders, saying: “You are not serving me, you are serving God. Salvation is personal.”
He added that the state government would also hold its annual thanksgiving service on Friday, May 29, as part of activities to mark his third year anniversary and appreciate God for His blessings and guidance.
