Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Monday, affirmed his administration's readiness to kick off tangible empowerment of widows in the year 2025.

Governor Oborevwori disclosed this while delivering a sermon at a Widows' Empowerment Forum, organised by the Founder of Calvary World Outreach, Apostle Chris Eruemulor, at Boji-Boji Owa, in Ika North East Local Government Area of the state.

Oborevwori, who took his text from the book of Deuteronomy 16 verses 11 to 14, said widows had a special place in God's heart, hence the need to take good care of them.

He advocated that taking care of widows was a way of pleasing God and affirmed that the wellbeing of widows was core project of his administration.

The governor advised the women to make Christ their companion, remain holy and keep at bay any act capable of demeaning them in the society.

He said the Yuletide was a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, adding that identifying with widows was a noble undertaking.

Governor Oborevwori reminded widows of the need to cast their trust in God, be pure in heart and dispose with dignity.

He said the prayers of widows contributed to his emergence as governor and charged them not to stop praying for his administration.

He congratulated Apostle Eruemulor on the yearly distribution of food items to widows and wished the women a merry Christmas and a happy New Year in advance.

Earlier, the founder of Calvary World Outreach, Apostle Eruemulor, said the celebration was a divine instruction from God to put smile on the faces of widows on a yearly basis.

He said he would not relent in sustaining the programme and reminded the women of the need to see Christ as the best friend anyone could keep.

Former Delta Governor, Chief James Onanefe Ibori, and immediate past Deputy Senate President, Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege are reportedly enmeshed in a Titanic battle for the control of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. The battle, which has snowballed into a cold war, has reportedly polarized the APC into factions, with each of the two gladiators insisting that the leadership of the party belongs to each of them. Findings revealed that the state chairman of the party, Chief Omeni Sobotie, reportedly suffering from an unknown ailment, has been dragged into the tussle, with Ibori and Omo-Agege demanding loyalty from the chairman. Sources claim that the battle for the control of party became intense after Ibori's daughter and member representing Ethiope federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Ehriatake Ibori-Suenu decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently. Although Omo-Agege was in Oghara, headquarters of Ethiope West Local Government of De...

After moving a short distance—usually two or three electric poles—the driver suddenly brings the tricycle to a halt, pretending that the Keke has developed a mechanical fault. Witnesses say the driver then steps out and, with a sense of urgency, asks the passengers to assist him in lifting the Keke so he can “shake the fuel tank” or “check the carburetor.” Believing it to be a harmless request, unsuspecting passengers jo...
