A special thanksgiving service was held on Monday at the Government House Chapel, Asaba, to celebrate the victory of the Delta State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori at the Court of Appeal, Abuja Division.
Oborevwori had approached the Court of Appeal praying the appellate court to set aside the judgment of the lower court which nullified his governorship candidacy of the PDP in the state.
The thanksgiving service was attended by the wife of the State Governor, Dame Edith Okowa, members of the State House of Assembly, members of the State Executive Council, chieftains of the PDP in the state and PDP faithful, among others.
Speaking at the service, Rt. Hon. Oborevwori, who is also the Speaker of the State Legislature, said he had come to the chapel to appreciate God for giving him victory, which he added was for all Deltans.
According to him, power could only come from God and no one was in the position to upturn what God had ordained.
While saying that Delta state was one, Oborevwori who is the man of the moment, said “by the grace of God, in 2023, we shall come here again (Government House Chapel) to give thanks to God.
“When we came to the chapel to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the creation of Delta state last Saturday, I promised God that if He gives me victory at the Appeal Court, l shall come to the chapel to give thanks to Him,” he added.
The PDP gubernatorial candidate expressed profound appreciation to the wife of the Governor for her strong support through prayers and for being solidly behind her husband.
In a sermon, the Chaplain of Government House Chapel, Venerable Charles Osemenam harped on the importance of thanksgiving to God, and prayed for sustainable peace and unity in the state.
The highlight of the service was a thanksgiving offering by Sheriff Oborevwori and his wife, Toborie, joined by Dame Edith Okowa, among other dignitaries.
