…and rebuild state for brighter futureĀ
As Deltans lament high rate of unemployment and underdevelopment in Delta state ahead of the 2023 governorship election, candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi has gained the support of women praying God to ensure he emerges next Governor of Delta to be able to cleanse the state of PDP decadence.
Led by Bishop Mrs. Emmanuel Fidelia Oyemike, the women gathered in Kwale, headquarters of Ndokwa West Local Government, in fasting and prayers under the banner of Favoured Daughters Intercessors International of the Peculiar Believers International, Kwale, pledged “total support” to Gbagi in his governorship bid.
In praise worship, they took to the floor in rendering joint prayers of supplication with Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi who was accompanied by his running mate, Chief Mrs. Oshilim Ishioma Rosemary, the State party Chairman, Ambassador Oke Idawene JP, and the State Youth Leader, Iluya Matthew and other SDP members towards ensuring that light and better life comes to Delta through their own son whom God has destined and prepared to lead the state out of bondage, come 2023.
She also lamented on the maltreatment of the Okpai Community which as a host of the Independent Power Plant has no test of the power supply even the roads are seen as death traps yet wondered the reason for labelling such PDP governance “the road mastery style” while the youths are also abandoned to be candidates of “yahoo yahoo” instead of occupying juicy offices for better future and better security in the state.
In her statement she expressed, āWe are not ready to be deceived again. Politicians have deceived us for so long. The truth of it is this, we are praying seriously, we need a change. We need someone who fears God.
āWe are tired of deception and that is why all the Christian bodies in politics are praying for the person that will carry the Church along because the priest and the king are together.
āYou cannot act as a king without the priest. And any king that was ordained and abandoned the priest, is like a son who abandoned his parentsā.
The women who sat on the ground in tears, were led by Bishop Emmanuel Fidelia Oyemike, into prayers against altars that have limited the progress of the state and kept her citizenry under perpetual bondage despite having enormous resources.
To this end, Olorogun Kenneth Gbagi concluded with assurance to end the suffering of Deltans, he said, āThe kind of money Delta State has, all these people here have no reason to live any substandard life.
āI am vying for governorship under the SDP. That is the party with which Felix Ibru ruled Delta State without blemish and that is the party with which MKO Abiola won the freest and fairest election.
While lamenting the hardship in the country, he said: āDelta State is worst, with all the money that we have, there is no one meaningful development, all our companies have died, all our children are in the street and all our daughters are now beggers, doing unholy things to be able to eatā, he said.
He solicited for prayers to enable him continue in his quest to liberate the state, āI am happy to be here. What I was told about this church, I have come to confirm myself. My main purpose of coming here, is prayers. If all these multitude here prays, God will answer their prayers.
āHaving seen you people gave me the strength which made me to say I am contesting for governorship of Delta State, with your prayers here, I am confident and I believe that Delta State can liberate its children from poverty, grant free education to all Delta children and pay all pensioners and retirees their entitlements within 200 days of his administration in 2023.
āTwo things I have promised. Because of the level of impoverishment of our people and the money that is available to us, my government by the grace of God in 2023, will grant free education to all Delta children.
āWe will not have any reason why people who have suffered and work for the state, their pensions and retirement benefits are not being paid. We have said, our government in 200 days, we will clear all bills of pensioners and retirees.
āThe state has money, all we need is to bring a man with a business mind who does not believe in eating governmentās money. We have a lot, Delta can feed, train, employ its people. There is enough money, let us use the money for Deltans and we must use our money to develop the Stateā he said.
…women are ready with Gbagi, SDP for governor, come 2023!
We Moove!
