The president of the Christian Fellowship of Nigeria (CPFN) and Delta State Chairman, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Dr. Kingsley Enakirerhi has led hundreds of other church leaders to pray for the election victory of Olorogun Barr. Kenneth Gbagi OON, the governorship candidate on the platform of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Delta State, come 2023.
Gbagi, a former minister of State for education, was at the Secretariat of CPFN/PFN on Tuesday December 13th 2022, at Orhokpokpor along Agbarho/Ughelli expressway as part of his efforts to mobilize for the support of the church ahead of the general election.
Enakirerhi, who is the founder of Heros of Faith Bible Church, Ughelli charged Gbagi, to ensure he partner with the Church when he becomes governor of the state.
Bishop Enakirerhi, who doubles as the President, Ughelli Day of Prayers and Thanksgiving, demanded that if Gbagi becomes governor, the CPFN and PFN should be fully involved in his government in selected Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), to block leakages associated with bad governance in order to serve Deltans better.
“Just as you have spoken, I am here today, that if God gives you the chance to be a governor of the state, this body, we want to be fully involve in your government.
“Not just in prayers but just as a man who shun corruption and hate evil, we want to occupy some of the most sensitive departments in your government. For example, the Internal Revenue, we want to block stealing from there.
“Commissioner of Works, we want to see that jobs are not padded. Then, the Commissioner of Finance. All these kind of offices where if the righteous people are not in authority, something will go wrong.
“We want people from this bloc, we have trained people, we want them to be part of your government.
“Another thing again, will you attend our Christian functions? Support our projects? When we have needs, will you respond? PFN, we are not poor people, we are also the richest body of Christ in the nation.
“And I want to plead with you that if God do it and peradventure you become the governor, you don’t neglect this Constituency, we are the best, most honest and truthful Deltans.
“Then again, we want to appeal also that when you come in, will you be able to give us a kind of stipends to support the pastors in the villages and Riverine communities?
“If all these that I have said to you and that you are promising this house that you will do them, we will not hesitate to take you to the alter and pray for you”, he assured.
Highpoint of the town hall meeting, was a prayer session led by Bishop Dr. Kingsley Enakirerhi and other clergy men in CPFN and PFN bloc for the election victory of the biggest private investor in the state.
Earlier in his message, the International gospel preacher, who laced his sermon with scriptural passages, pointed out that when the righteous are in authority, the outcome is that the people rejoices.
“But when the wicked, the lawlessness, the ones that love money over their country. They try to take the money out of the country and keep it somewhere so that in eventuality, when there is trouble, they run and secure their family abroad (the wicked), are on the throne, the people mourn”.
According to him, King Solomon as we all know, is the wisest and richest president that has ever lived.
“His throne was established in fairness, justice and equity. He never fought any battle in his days, in his days the economy of Israel was more than any other economy in the world, his wisdom supercedes all the kings that ever lived.
“When the righteous; a man with a good heart, a man with the fear of God, a man who believes in accountability, a man that believe that there will be judgement. Heb. 9:28-29, ‘It is appointed unto a man once to die, after death, the judgement.
