Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has declared May 29 as an annual day for ‘prayer and worship’ in the state.
The Governor, speaking at an interdenominational victory thanksgiving service on Sunday at the Word of Life Bible Church, Warri, said the essence of the prayer was to move the state forward.
Okowa said, “We are all Deltans and should work to move Delta state forward, we bear no grudge against anybody, we will move forward as a state and every May 29, we will dedicate it as a day of prayer and worship to the Lord, our God.
“I thank all of you for coming to this thanksgiving service but the true thanksgiving is for us to be sensitive and accountable to our people.
“Deltans, we thank you; through your votes, we are here today; we trust in God; when we went into the election and we came out victorious.
“When the judgement was moved to Abuja, people were worried but, I told all who cared to know that the Lord has taken over and God gave us victory. We thank God for the victory and I ask for reconciliation because we need to stay together, we need to partner together to develop Delta state,” he noted, urging the church to “partner with us, pray for us, pray for Delta State, through your prayers, our land will be healed and there will be increase.
“You should pray for those in government whether they are doing well or not because, when you pray for us and get committed to Delta state just as Kingsley Otuaro and I are, God will turn things around in Delta State for all of us to be happier,” the Governor added.
