Former governor, Ifeanyi Okowa made his first appearance by accompanying Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori to a service of song in honour of Mrs. Victoria Ossai Obielum, the mother of well-known politician Godwill Obielum.
Due to a purported N1.3 trillion fraud, Okowa was arrested on Monday, November 4, 2024, but was freed on Friday after his passport was confiscated.
Also attending the event were the Delta State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Solomon Arenyenka, members of the party’s state executive committee, political dignitaries, and top serving and retired security officers, among others.
The service of songs took place on Wednesday at Obielum’s residence in Asaba, the Delta State capital.
Pastor Ifeanyi Ogude of Heaven Bound Christian International Church Ministry gave a sermon at the event about the meaning of life and exhorted Christians to commit their lives to serving both God and humanity.
He said, “Nobody knows when death will come, and as such, people should be prepared by living a good life and leaving worthy legacies behind, as they will be remembered for what they did.”
Mrs. Obielum passed away at the age of 87 on Thursday, 20th June 2024, and her remains will be buried on Saturday, 16th November 2024, at Obielum’s residence in Ushie, Ndokwa East Local Government Area of the state.
