ASABA/Nigeria: In a heartfelt address at a thanksgiving event held at the Government House Chapel in Asaba, Delta State, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori credited divine intervention for his recent success in the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal. The governor expressed his profound gratitude to God and urged unity and cooperation for the betterment of the state.
Governor Oborevwori, accompanied by his Deputy, Sir Monday Onyeme, former Governor Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, and Chief Kingsley Esiso, the State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), among other government dignitaries, gathered to offer thanks for what he referred to as a “triple victory” at the tribunal.
Addressing the congregation, an elated Governor Oborevwori declared, “Today’s judgement at the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal marks a turning point in our quest to enthrone enduring democracy in our state. I am very happy, and I know that Deltans are happy because scriptures have been confirmed again that it is God that appoints leaders.”
The governor emphasized his belief in divine intervention, stating, “We are here to thank God for giving us this victory despite all opposition. We have come here to return all the glory to God because God is not a man that He should lie.”
Governor Oborevwori expressed concern about the ongoing court cases, saying, “Delta is still united, and God has made our victory as Deltans permanent and fully consolidated to His glory and honor.”
He further pledged his commitment to servant leadership, saying, “I am willing to serve all of you, so take me as your own because it is God that gives power. That same God that made it possible for Joseph in a foreign land will make us lead this state for eight years.”
Highlighting the significance of their electoral victory, the governor added, “The victory is for all Deltans, and we dedicate it to the Almighty God. This victory didn’t come as a surprise because we won in 21 out of 25 local government areas.”
Governor Oborevwori concluded with an appeal for unity, stating, “My advice to my other brothers is that they should join us to advance Delta so that our state can develop further. For us to win in 21 out of 25 shows that God is with us, and when you have God, nothing can be impossible.”
The thanksgiving event served as a moment of reflection and unity for Governor Oborevwori and his supporters, as they look forward to a future of continued leadership and development in Delta State.
