Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Tuesday expressed gratitude to God for what he described as the peaceful and successful conduct of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary elections in the state.
Speaking during a morning devotion service at the Government House Chapel in Asaba, the governor said the smooth and crisis-free exercise was a major reason for thanksgiving.
Oborevwori said the peaceful atmosphere that characterised the primaries reflected God’s faithfulness and the growing unity and stability in the state.
“First, I want to thank God today for keeping us to this day. Thank God for all that He has done for us and for the show of love that Deltans have shown to this administration,” he said.
Quoting Psalm 100:4, the governor stressed the importance of thanksgiving, noting that gratitude to God had remained his practice after every victory.
“I have come here to return the glory to God who has made everything possible. No crisis, no fights, nothing. Everything went peacefully,” he stated.
Oborevwori described the just-concluded APC primaries as one of the best the state had witnessed in recent years, especially when compared to the tense experiences of previous election cycles.
“If you know what we went through in the 2022 primaries, we have every reason to thank God that everything went well,” he added.
The governor also urged political supporters and residents not to idolise leaders, reminding them that service and worship belong only to God.
“You are not serving me, you are serving God. Salvation is personal,” he said.
He encouraged citizens to remain thankful for life, good health and God’s blessings, noting that wealth without good health was meaningless.
Oborevwori further appreciated those who had sustained prayer activities at the Government House Chapel, particularly the regular Monday-to-Friday prayer sessions.
He disclosed that the state government would hold its annual thanksgiving service on Friday as part of activities marking his third anniversary in office and to appreciate God for His guidance and blessings.
