He also offered prayers for God’s guidance and wisdom upon President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Delta State Governor Sheriff Francis Orohwedor Oborevwori, and leaders at all levels of government as they continue to steer the affairs of the nation.
The Delta governor’s adviser further prayed that the country’s democratic experience would usher in lasting peace, economic prosperity, and greater opportunities for all Nigerians.
He expressed optimism that through sustained commitment to democratic ideals, Nigeria would witness increased development and a brighter future for generations to come.
