Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara has donated one hundred million naira to the Shepard’s Hill Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God(RCCG) to support their work of evangelism.
Governor Fubara made the donation at the Special Thanksgiving Service in honour of His Royal Majesty, Eze Chike Worlu Wodo, Eze Oha Apara IV, as he celebrates his appointment as the Chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council (RSTRC).
He stated that God remains the anchor of his administration, insisting that it is God who allowed the antagonizing political crisis in the State to happen as he is using it to perfect his purpose in the State.
He said, God is taking the State in a new direction of political emancipation, economic growth and development.
The Governor emphasised that against expectations in some quarters that the political crisis would have overwhelmed him and his team, they have rather become more energised in steering the affairs of State resolutely.
He said,“I am happy being in the presence of God today, more especially worshiping in one of the living churches in Nigeria and the world.
“I have to say that there is nothing as important like thanking God. Even when the situation looks unclear, thanksgiving brings assurance and a clearer picture of the situation.
“And I joined this family this morning to thank God with you, and to assure our people that because God is involved and we have kept him in front as our priority, our story will end in praises.
“I also believed that what you are calling trouble is not so to me, it is God working His purpose for a new direction in our state.
“He has taken us this far, right from the first day, and rather than getting weak, we are getting stronger and bolder everyday.
