Okowa accuses Tinubu of Moves to Close Aso-Rock Worship Centre For 4 Years

Delta Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has alleged that Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima’s taking occupation as President and Vice President of Nigeria will close down Aso Rock christian worship Centre for four years.

The Delta state governor asserted this following the country’s apex political seat being occupied by two Muslims of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 general election.

He spoke at a meeting with members of the Isoko Church Leaders Council held at God’s Fountain of Life Mission, Oleh, Isoko South local government area of the state.

According to the governor, it was time for people to truly pray and to encourage the church of Christ to continue to pray and not to be hindered by people of sectional interest.

He noted, “I believe that this is the time for us to dwell in the light of God so that He will be done in our state and in Nigeria. This is the time for us to rise up in faith and not time to mourn. The church must be prayerful, cautious and have to think from the inside.

“It is my prayer that the chapel in Government House, Asaba, will remain to the glory of God.”

Reacting to the outcome of last Saturday’s elections, Okowa said the exercise was compromised, and that the outcome of the election was not the will of God.

“We saw the manipulation of the election coming and the church of Christ prayed against the situation which we have just found ourselves.”

He also appealed to religious leaders and Deltans to rally around the PDP gubernatorial candidate in the state, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in the March 11 gubernatorial election.

He urged them to vote for all the PDP candidates for the Delta State House of Assembly in various constituencies across the state.

While thanking members of the forum for the opportunity given to him to talk to them, Okowa said Sheriff Oborevwori was a God-fearing man, adding that he had the needed experience to inspire more development in the state.
