Delta State governor, Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has stressed strong synergy among the executive, legislature, and judiciary, which he described as essential to impactful governance.
He said this at a thanksgiving service marking the 2nd Anniversary of the 8th Assembly, held at Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG), Asaba, on Sunday.
He said this collaboration had driven progress in education, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture, and youth empowerment.
While commending the State House of Assembly for its steadfast legislative contributions to the development of the state, he thanked the Assembly for acknowledging divine guidance in its work, describing the thanksgiving as the most significant part of the anniversary.
“It is truly heartwarming to see you recognise the place of the divine in your affairs. Lawmakers must depend on God for wisdom and guidance,” he said.
“Your wisdom, oversight, and representation have strengthened our state and deepened democracy,” he noted.
The Speaker, Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, expressed gratitude to God for the successful completion of the Assembly’s Second Session.
He called the day a moment of thanksgiving and reflection on the privilege of serving over five million Deltans.
In his sermon, Pastor Olufemi Olumide of RCCG Region 34 emphasised the power of thanksgiving in honoring God and fulfilling spiritual vows.
He warned against pride and cited Nebuchadnezzar as a cautionary example of failing to acknowledge God.
“Thanksgiving is a spiritual medicine. It cleanses the soul from pride, false independence, and foolishness,” he said.
Making reference to Psalm 116:16-19, Pastor Olumide described thanksgiving as a divine command and a means of attracting restoration and divine favor.
