My Administration Has Made Judicious Use Of Public Funds – Gov Oborevwori

Delta state governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori submitted on Monday that his administration is a product of divine choice  while promising to  continue to ensure fiscal discipline for the overall development of the state. 

A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Monday noted that he said   this during the 2023 Thanksgiving Service held by the State Chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) at PFN Alpha and Omega City, Orhokpokpor – Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government, Delta state.

Governor Oborevwori  noted that giving thanks to God is a scriptural injunction to every Christian, adding that thanksgiving should not be seen as an event but rather a lifestyle of every believer.

He also commended all fathers of faith for their prayers and support during the last general election.

‘May I use this opportunity to appreciate all our fathers of faith for their labour of love and steadfastness to partner with my administration to deliver good governance to our people. 

Thanksgiving helps us to put things in proper perspectives for there will be more things going for us than against us. No matter how tough or difficult our present circumstances may be, it is important we do not forget this good injunction. 

Today as a body of believers in the state, we have come to count our blessings and return all glory to God who is the giver of all good things. What I have gone through in all my pre-election matters is just God and God saw us through the tribunal and the Appeal Court’ he said. 

Governor Oborevwori has also asserted that he has ensured judicious use of public funds since becoming the governor of Delta state six months ago.

 ‘In the six months of our administration, we have ensured prudent management of our finances and we have mobilized our contractors to site. We have continued to ensure that while funding ongoing projects we will also introduce new ones.

When people are increasing their budget, we reduced our own by 12 percent because of fiscal discipline and by the grace of God, this administration will do what is good for the people of the state. 

As your Chief servant, I am mindful that this administration is a product of divine choice and I will continue to govern this state with the fear of God and ensure transparency and accountability in all aspects of governance’ he said.

Immediate past governor of the state, Dr  Ifeanyi Okowa in his remarks , expressed joy at the PFN Alpha and the Omega City projects. 

Okowa said he was happy to see what God is doing at the ‘PFN City’ and commended the State Executive of PFN for the great work of transforming the city to the glory of God. 

Earlier, Archbishop Solomon Gbakara of God’s Will Mission Inc., in his message, said God is the owner of the earth, adding that thanking God is compulsory for all creatures. He said God can give man quit notice on the earth for not giving Him thanks. 

Intercessory prayers were later  offered for the growth and development of Delta state and Nigeria. 

The thanksgiving service was attended by Speaker of the Delta state House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor,  Rep Jonathan Ukodhiko,  the governor’s Senior Political Adviser ,  former Senator Emmanuel Aguariavwodo, Head of Service, Mr Reginald Bayoko, members of the State House of Assembly, members of the State Executive Council, Mr Mideno Bayagbon, Mr Hope Oborevwori, Chief Kome Okpobor and other government functionaries.
