Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has appealed to the citizens to resist war and embrace peace and unity in the country. He reiterated that the consequences of any war never do anybody good but harm. The governor recalled that the negative effects of the Nigerian Civil War (Biafran War) were still being felt today.
Governor Okowa who spoke on Sunday 11th June, 2017 at the 2nd Year Thanksgiving Service of the sixth assembly of the Delta State House of Assembly at the Living Faith Church, Asaba said: “In this time, we don’t need another war, it is time for us to think and reflect on the past and build a greater, more united country.”
“Nigeria needs God to survive; by the grace of God, Nigeria is one and will remain as one. Christians should continue to pray for the country, we don’t want to see war.”
“It is time to reexamine ourselves, examine our homes and to think of our existence; we need to reflect on things we do as parents and what we are inculcating into our children because, as parents, we must build in our children the knowledge of God for us to have a better society.”
