Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has called on Nigerians to stop apportioning blames about the economic situation of the country just as he advised that the people seek the face of God for solutions to the nations’ economic woes.
Dr. Okowa made this call at Rock of Ages Christian Assembly International (a.k.a RACAi), Benin City during the concluding programme of the church 2017 convention, he said that rather than the lay the blame on President Muhammadu Buhari nor anyone else.Nigerians should turn to God in prayers.
According to Senator Okowa, “do not blame President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, Governors or those in government for the recession being faced by the country because, your prayers can change anything in this nation, God can deliver this nation through prayers and you should work hard”.
While giving testimonies of how God is changing the situation of things in Delta State from a state which witnessed “theatre of battle at the creeks,” to a state that is peaceful with speedy economic recovery, Dr. Okowa emphasized that it is only God that can change the fortunes of the country.
The Governor added, “the church should continue to pray for us as a nation, when things get rough, Christians should not lose hope, they should get on their knees and cry to our Lord, there is no situation that God cannot change, as you pray for the nation and those in government, you will be blessed.”
Senator Okowa spoke further, “please, don’t complain, pray continuously because, we are sick as a nation and when the nation is sick, it affects all of us, but, I believe that as we pray, the Lord will hear us, He will heal our land and make us prosper.”
The Governor who was accompanied by some of his commissioners to the event, congratulated the church for its successful programme, noting, “there is always something new to learn when one attends church service, if we truly give ourselves to God.”

According to Pastor Osazuwa, “David worshipped God, he was not ashamed of worshipping God, he was accountable and humility personified. It is pertinent for all those in authority to be givers, rendering selfless service to mankind as well as be repentant of your sins, this would enable you to succeed.”
The event featured special prayers for the country, Delta and Edo States and those in government while special songs were also, rendered to the glory of God.
