The Delta state Governor, senator (Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa has called on religious bodies in the state to partner with the government to bring peace and development to the state.
The governor made the statement on Saturday, August 8, 2015 during the inauguration ceremony of the new Executive of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, (PFN), Ika North-East Chapter, at Door of Faith Mission, Boji Boji Owa.
The Governor who was represented at the occasion by his Executive Assistant on Religious Matters, Bishop Greatman Nmalagu, said the religious bodies in the state has a lot to do, especially in the area of peace building, which is one of the SMART agendas of the present government.
According to the governor, religious bodies in the state should always pray for the government, so that they will succeed in bringing the developmental needs of the people, because without God, and peace in the state, achieving the expected development will be a difficult task, and such they should ensure that “whatever is lawful, and whatever that will bring peace is done”, and with that the idea of prosperity for all Deltans will be achieved.
Speaking further, the Governor told the members of the PFN, Ika North-East, that they can always use their messages to preach peace among their members and other religious bodies, to avoid whatever will cause religious bigotry.
The governor while congratulating the newly inaugurated Exco members led by Apostle Mike Asiwe, called on them to ensure that peace reigns among the executives, at all times, and among all the Christian bodies in the area.
