2019: Okowa preaches peace, condemns ritual, political killings
By As we approach 2019 and the yuletide periods, the Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has condemned the rate of ritual killings and political killings going on in Nigerian.
He therefore, called on the people to reconcile themselves with God and their neighbours.
The governor said this at the Delta state festival of Nine Lessons and Carols christened, “an Evening of Praise” organised by the Ministry of Information, The Pointer Newspaper, Delta Broadcasting Service, Asaba and Warri in conjunction with office of the Executive Assistant to the Governor on Religious Matters at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba.
He condemned ritual killings and called on politicians against political killing ahead of 2019 general elections.
The governor said, “reconciliation with God is the reason for the season which is about our Lord, Jesus Christ. “
“Once you are reconciled with God, you will reconcile with man; you will stay away from sin and the blessing of God will flow in you,” Governor Okowa said, adding, “it is time to prepare a room in your heart for Jesus Christ because, once you have done that, you will receive peace.”
Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Snr Apostle Sylvanus Okorote in a sermon asserted that, “God as the author of peace, reconciled man to Himself through His son, Jesus Christ; once you are reconciled with God, you are a new creature.”
