Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, has said the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, remains a source of encouragement to his administration.
Daniel Alabrah, Chief Press Secretary to the Bayelsa State Governor disclosed in a statement.
Governor Diri stated this on Wednesday during the dedication of the new pavilion built by his administration in his country home, Sampou, in Kolokuma/Opokuma Local Government Area.
While expressing gratitude to the respected cleric for his love and concern for his Prosperity Government and people of the state, particularly during last year’s floods, the governor recalled that the RCCG General Overseer did not only commiserate with him but also donated over 100 bags of rice to support victims.
He said that as part of Adeboye’s visit to the state to attend the 17th National Biennial Conference of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), he would also visit victims and flood affected areas in the state to see things for himself.
While dedicating the pavilion, Pastor Adeboye described Senator Diri as an exceptional leader that has the fear of God.
Quoting from the scriptures, he said rain signifies blessings but whenever it was in excess, it causes flooding thereby endangering lives and property.
Adeboye, who noted that the flooding was a wake-up call for the people to draw closer to their creator, prayed God to prevent the natural disaster from wreaking another havoc in the state.
The Governor was accompanied by his wives, Dr.(Mrs) Gloria Diri, Justice Ama Zoufa Diri, his Deputy, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, the Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Abraham Ingobere, Leader of the House, Rt.Hon Monday Edwin Bubou Obolo and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman, Bayelsa chapter, Hon. Solomon Agwana.
Also present were the Commissioner for Works, ESV Moses Teibowei, Commissioner for Information, Orientation and Strategy, Hon. Ayiba Duba and other members of the Executive
