The Governor called on Deltans not to put their trust on man whenever they were faced with challenges of life, adding that in the last three and a half years as governor of the state he had experienced peace because he had continued to trust completely on God.

While assuring Deltans that every part of the state would witness the goodness of God in the new year, Governor Okowa enjoined Christians to always pray for the peace of the land and for those in positions of authority to enable them carry out the will of God in the nation.

The coordinator of the Bridge Builders, Mr. Peter Idion said the programme was organised to set the tune for the campaigns and subsequent victory of Governor Okowa at the election.

He harped on the need for Ika sons and daughters to support one of their own as he seeks reelection next year and gave the assurance that with God on their side the PDP will emerge victorious in all the elections.

Special prayers were offered to God for the victory of Governor Okowa and the peace of the state.
