The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Rivers State Bro. Felix Obuah has thanked religious leaders and faithful in the state for their support and prayers during the course of the legal battle of the Rivers State Governor Barr. Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike.

The PDP Chairman made this known during the Annual Vigil Night of the Church of God (Seventh Day) 36 Gambia Street Port Harcourt Branch over the weekend.

Nyesom Wike is poised towards ensuring that the people of Rivers state reap the dividends of democracy while promising that men of God in the state will not be left out also.

The Special Adviser to the Rivers state governor Hon. Elemchukwu Ogbowu who accompanied the state party Chairman to the vigil said the gathering of the church members for the vigil wouldn’t have been possible if the plans of the opposition in the state had materialized. He said God has been glorified by the judgment of the Supreme Court which occurred during the 21 Day Fasting and Prayer Session of the Church.

Pastor Dr. L C Obara the presiding Pastor of the church thanked the PDP Chairman for gracing the vigil. He said the church will never relent in praying for leaders in authourity. He said the state has become more peaceful by the Supreme Court judgment of 28^th January 2015. “God has heard our fervent prayer which is a clear testimony of our 21 Day Fasting and prayer session. The jubilation that greeted the judgment is also a clear indication that when the righteous are in position of authourity the people rejoice. May God forever be praised” He concluded.

Rivers Governmnet, PDP Disagree Over $280 million Looan

The Rivers State Government and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state are currently at loggerheads over the request by the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, for a $280m loan for water and sanitation projects.
