Delta State governor, Hon Sheriff Oborevwori on Friday said God ordained him to be governor and expressed appreciation to Him and Deltans for his victory at the Supreme Court.
Speaking at a thanksgiving service at the Government House Chapel Asaba, the governor called on his opponents to partner with him to move the state forward.
Oborevwori said he survived 38 cases in various courts up to the Supreme Court from pre-election to post election to become governor of Delta State.
“This victory is for our people to know that our God is faithful and He alone has delivered us. This victory is for everyone and like I promised Deltans, I will be the governor for all Deltans,” he said.
Oborevwori stressed that God ordained him to be governor and thanked Deltans for supporting his ambition.
“I came to this altar before I went to Abuja for this last judgment and I said God is not a man that he should lie. I have promised God that every time He gives me victory, I must come here to thank Him.
“I have done it several times and I said I will also return the same day of the victory to thank God. For the Lord has redeemed me.
“This victory is not about me but about the people of Delta State. The immediate past governor said that “somebody that would not recognise this altar will never be governor; God has honoured that word.
“This case made it 38 cases for me from pre-election matters to this one. Even the governors who have done eight years did not go through such number of cases.
The governor who was earlier welcomed from Abuja by a mammoth crowd at the Asaba International Airport, said he was happy that the litigations were over, assuring that he would now concentrate in delivering on his MORE Agenda for the people.
“I was overwhelmed by the crowd and the show of love at the airport. I want to reassure Deltans that my deputy governor and I will continue to serve you.
In a related development, wild jubilation erupted simultaneously in different parts of Delta State, following the affirmation of Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori as the Governor of Delta State by the Supreme Court on Friday morning.
