Prophet Joesph Igbodo, the General Overseer of Divine Faith Evangelical Mission International, Agbor, and some members of Ewuru-Agbor Community have commended Delta State Governor, His Excellency Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and one of his aides Hon. Sunny Ogwu, for the construction of a solar powered water borehole at the premises of Uweifo Orthopaedic Nursing Home, Ewuru.
Prophet Igbodo made the commendation during a visit to the orthopaedic nursing home recently.
Speaking with newsmen, the prophets of God appreciated the State Government for putting the borehole in the compound of the Orthopaedic home, emphasizing that indeed Okowa is working, noting that the laudable works and projects which the State Governor has executed since he assumed office, are a living testimony of his vision to better the lives of the masses. In the words of the prophet, “the transformation in Ika Land is quite visible for all to see, no person can claim to be blind at all these things that Governor Okowa is doing”.
He urged Deltans to continually pray for the State Governor, saying that he is one of the persons who always pray for the state helm’sman. Continuing, he also appreciated Hon. Sunny Ogwu, the Chairman of the State Universal Primary Education Board (SUPEB), who facilitated the siting of the borehole project at Uweifo Orthopaedic Nursing Home, due to the acute water problem, that patients of the home usually face during dry season.
Prophet Igbodo enjoined political appointees of the State Governor to always represent the governor effectively, explaining that the eyes of the governor cannot be in Asaba and at the same time be at Ughelli and Agbor; saying that the governor’s aides should do their jobs effectively as they are the eyes of the governor in their various communities”, emphasizing that this is a great opportunity for rapid and sustainable development in Ika Land. He prayed God to bless the Governor and Hon. Sunny Ogwu.
