National task: Predecessor prays wisdom for Gov. Okowa

Given certain national political burden on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has prayed for wisdom to direct the Delta State Governor.

Former Governor Uduaghan said the prayers in a goodwill message to mark the 59th birthday of Governor Okowa.

“You are celebrating your birthday this year at a very critical period in the history of our dear country, Nigeria.

“A period in which multiple security challenges have become a source of concern. A period in which religious harmony has become a challenge. A period of build up in political activities that will eventually lead to elections.

“As the Governor of Delta State, and a leading member of the main opposition party, the PDP, you are going to be involved in critical decisions and activities that will stabilise this nation.

“It is my sincere prayers that the Grace and Mercy of God will give you the wisdom, critical mind, knowledge, patience & the spirit of discernment to be a major contributor in seeing the nation through.

“May God also equip you with a lot of wisdom to lead Delta State through this period,” Uduaghan prayed.
