During the thanksgiving service honouring Majority Leader Emeka Nwaobi, Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, urged political officeholders to conscientiously serve the people with humility.
Reflecting on his own journey, Governor Oborevwori shared a moment of personal insight, stating, “As we came here this morning, we passed through the Ogwashi-Uku Stadium, where we came for PDP governorship primaries in 2006. I passed through that as a delegate then and today I passed through it as Governor of Delta State. It is only God that can do a thing like that and it is good to give thanks to Him for whatever happens because if Okowa had become governor in 2007, perhaps I wouldn’t have been governor today.”
Emphasizing the importance of humility in leadership, Oborevwori described Nwaobi as an exemplary individual and encouraged him to continue serving with humility, using his position to unite the people of Aniocha North for the betterment of the local government area.
In response, Nwaobi expressed gratitude to Governor Oborevwori and the party leadership for the opportunity to serve as Majority Leader of the House. He pledged unwavering loyalty and commitment to the Speaker and members of the House, urging his constituents in Aniocha North, particularly Issele-Uku kingdom, to continue supporting the PDP for the advancement of democracy.
The thanksgiving service was graced by the presence of Deputy Governor Monday Onyeme, immediate past governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, and his wife Edith, Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Emomotimi Guwor and his wife, Timiebi, Speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly, Somtochukwu Udeze, Deputy Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Arthur Akpowowo and his wife, the state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olorogun Kingsley Esiso, as well as members of the Delta State House of Assembly, among other dignitaries.
