Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Friday, called on Nigerians to uphold prayer, unity and collective responsibility as indispensable pillars for national stability and sustainable development, stressing that leadership thrives best when supported with prayers and goodwill of the people.
Speaking at a courtesy visit by the Founder of Manner Prayer Mountain Ministry Worldwide and author of Our Daily Manner devotional, Dr. Chris Kwakpovwe, the Governor described leadership as divinely ordained, urging citizens to continually pray for those in authority, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to him, governance succeeds not merely by human strength but by divine guidance, noting that when leaders succeed, the people ultimately benefit.
Governor Oborevwori emphasized that unity remains critical to progress, warning that development cannot flourish in an atmosphere of division.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to people-oriented governance, pledging continuous engagement with communities, assessment of their needs and the execution of policies that deliver tangible development across Delta State.
“As a government, our focus remains faithful service and meaningful development,” he said, adding that sustained prayer and cooperation would keep both the state and the nation on a forward trajectory.
Earlier the founder and author of Our Daily Manna, Dr. Chris Kwakpovwe, who was accompanied by his wife and other clergy members of his ministry, disclosed that he considered it a sacred duty to pray for those in positions of authority, citing biblical injunctions that mandate believers to uphold leaders in prayer for wisdom, strength and sound judgment.
Reflecting on the devotional’s 26-year journey, Dr. Chris described ODM as a divine assignment that began from humble beginnings and grew through consistency, sacrifice and grace.
He recalled witnessing early editions of the devotional and watching its steady evolution into a global spiritual companion for families and believers.
Expressing deep appreciation for the Governor’s impactful and people-centred leadership, Dr. Chris extolled Oborevwori as an exceptional leader, describing him as the best governor and affirming his unwavering commitment to continually uphold him in prayers.
