Muslim-Muslim ticket: Governor Okowa laments four-year shutdown of Aso Rock Chapel

Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of Delta State, expressed regret that the All Progressives Congress’ Muslim-Muslim ticket would force the chapel in Aso Rock to remain closed for four years (APC).

Okowa pleaded for people to truly pray and to encourage the church of Christ to keep praying during a meeting with members of the Isoko Church Leaders Council on Friday at God’s Fountain of Life Mission in Oleh, the state’s Isoko South local government area.

“I think that now is the right time for us to live in the light of God so that He can carry out His will in our state and throughout Nigeria. Instead of mourning, now is the time for us to stand tall in faith. The church needs to be discerning, watchful, and prayerful.
The governor prayed for God to preserve the chapel at Government House in Asaba and added that the church should keep praying for the state and country.

In response to the results of the elections last Saturday, Okowa claimed that the process had been tainted and that the outcome was not in accordance with God’s will.

The church of Christ prayed against the circumstance in which we have just found ourselves because we foresaw the manipulation of the election coming, according to Okowa.

The governor urged religious leaders and Deltans to support Sheriff Oborevwori, the PDP’s candidate for governor, in the March 11 general election while also encouraging them to support all of the PDP’s candidates for the Delta State House of Assembly in the various constituencies throughout the state.

Okowa said Sheriff Oborevwori was a God-fearing man and that he had the necessary experience to spur more development in the state. He also thanked the forum participants for the chance to speak with them.
If elected governor, the state’s PDP candidate and speaker of the state House of Assembly would, in his opinion, continue the infrastructure and human capital development momentum started by his administration.
