First Anniversary: Deaconess Oborevwori Thanks Delta Women for Standing by Governor Oborevwori

As part of activities to mark the first anniversary of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration, the First Lady of Delta State and founder of You Matter Charity Foundation, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, hosted various women groups in the state to an appreciation meeting on Thursday, June 6, 2024 at the Unity Hall, Government House, Asaba.

Deaconess Oborevwori, overwhelmed by the support of the women during the campaigns and through the first year of her husband’s administration, appreciated them for trusting and believing in the MORE agenda of the governor.

She commended the immense contributions of cash and various items by the women towards a Food Bank project for the needy, donated to the Living Faith Church, Winners Chapel, Asaba, as part of the one-year Thanksgiving celebration of her husband’s administration.

“It is an honour meeting with women of various groups who contributed to the success of the Food Distribution; I must say I am blessed to have you women around me. I also want to let you know how much your contributions have blessed lives, because of what you did, we were able to put smiles on the faces of Deltans,” she said.

“The Winners Community also appreciates every one of you for your show of love; food items and air conditioners were donated, and to God be the glory, these items have been successfully distributed.

“With the responsibilities given to us as women of Delta State, I am happy that you did not fail; thank you for being doers of the word of God by giving back to society,” Deaconess Oborevwori added.

She further encouraged the women to extend their support for the governor to their husbands, so that the state will be filled with peaceful homes that will foster development across the state.

Deaconess Oborevwori offered the prayers of Deuteronomy 28: 8, 12, and Philippians 4:19 for the women, saying, “I pray that your zeal and love for the people will bring more blessings to you and your household”.

In their separate remarks, the women commended the humility and transparency of Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, recounting her various humanitarian activities as the wife of the Speaker and now as the governor’s wife. They stressed that her humane disposition to the welfare of Deltans has endeared them to be consistent in their support for her husband’s administration.

The women unanimously passed a vote of confidence on the First Lady, concretizing their unalloyed commitment and support for the Governor Sheriff Oborevwori administration. Prayers were also offered for the state, the governor, and the peaceful conduct of the forthcoming local government election.
