As reactions continue to trail the asset declaration of President Muhammdu Buhari, and his vice,Pastor Yemi Osinbanjo, the Delta State governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, yesterday declared that the noise about the president’s asset was totally uncalled for saying what he declared was his personal wealth which ought not to bother Nigerians.

The governor said Nigerians should be more concerned about the president’s campaign promises which he noted should be paramount to the people adding that Buhari’s declaration was a welcome development.

Besides, the governor disclosed that in spite of the huge debts it inherited from the immediate administration of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, his government had put in place measures that would bring respite to the people by restructuring its expenditure to save cost.

Okowa,who spoke yesterday in Benin, Edo State Capital at the 13 years’ anniversary celebration of Rock of Ages Christian Assembly

International Incorporation, also admonished the congregation to pray fervently in order to heal the land of all the challenges bedevilling it, just as he called on Nigerians to stop raining verbal abuses their leaders.

Responding to questions from newsmen after the service, he said, “Asset declaration is personal, the man has declared his asset which is a welcome development.But his personal wealth and all he has at the moment is not supposed to be the business of Nigerians. The only thing that we should be concerned about is what is going to be his output in government, that is where we should concentrate on.”

Okowa whose election is being challenged at the tribunal said God has been merciful an faithful to him.

He said, “Trusting God is very good because God has manifested in my life. I can see the manifestation of God in this church and the same way God has grown this church, God can also grow in your lives.

When I listen to our father Pastor Omobude there is still a lot of Jordan to cross, there is still a lot land to be conquered, please take note of that so that you will not relax that we have arrived. It is a time to pray more, not only for the church but for Nigeria and all the statesin this country.

Magnus Abe and the direct primaries in the state which has been kicked against by the Rotimi Amaechi faction of the party in the state. This support which was massive and highly successful  buttressed the position of the over 148,000 people that caste  their votes on the direct primaries which held in the state on the 30th of September 2018.
