@mr.peter.obi: DELTA STATE : CELEBRATING FAITH, HONORING FRIENDSHIP, AND ENGAGING WITH THE PEOPLE. My activities in Delta State yesterday, Friday, 13th November 2026, comprised three significant engagements. After a highly successful town hall meeting in Lagos State the previous day, I travelled to Warri, Delta State, to continue interacting with the people. While in Warri, I visited a revered man of God and father in the faith, Papa Ayo Oritsejafor, former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria and founder and Senior Pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, Warri, to celebrate his birthday with him. It was a privilege to share in this special occasion. I congratulate Papa on his birthday and pray that God will bless him with many more productive years in His service. I thereafter visited the family of my dear brother and former Governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, to offer my condolences. Dr Uduaghan’s passing remains a deeply painful personal loss. In my conversation with the family, I reflected on the years when we served as governors of neighbouring states and the warm relationship we sustained until his death. We pray that God Almighty, who has called him to eternal rest at this time, will forgive his shortcomings, grant him everlasting peace, and strengthen his family and all of us who mourn him to endure this irreparable loss. While travelling by road from Warri to Asaba, I briefly stopped at Ughelli Market, where I met with traders and heard their concerns about the prevailing economic difficulties and the obstacles affecting their businesses. I assured them that we remain committed to implementing policies that will lower the cost of living, strengthen small businesses, and lift our people out of poverty. I concluded my engagements in Delta State with a visit to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Conference in Ubulu-Uku, where I urged the worshippers to continue praying for those of us in public office so that we will consistently apply public resources to the public good. I also reaffirmed Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso's and my commitment to uniting the country, decisively confronting insecurity and corruption, investing in essential areas of development, especially healthcare and education, supporting small businesses, and addressing poverty with determination. I thank our candidates in Delta State, led by our governorship candidate, Deacon Chris Iyovwaye, and our senatorial candidate, Hon. Victor Ochei, for their participation and dedication. I also appreciate the people of Delta State for their warmth and hospitality. A New Nigeria is Possible, and Nigeria will be OK! PO
