The renowned clergyman who is in Lokoja for an ongoing three-day crusade, alongside his wife, Dr. Mrs. Becky Enenche, led an entourage to pay a courtesy visit to the Kogi State Government and was duely hosted by the Deputy Governor in his office on Friday.
The Deputy Governor, in a scheduled phase of the auspicious meeting led the visitors to the edifice of the State Government House Chapel where fervent prayers and ministrations were held for the State, nation and world at large.
Speaking at the Chapel, Chief Onoja who welcomed the visitors, expressed gratitude to God for the works he is doing through Pastor Paul Enenche, whom he described as “God’s General.” He said the Man of God had consistently remained a vessel of God used in blessing His people and hinted that the crusade was not only important, but timely for the State and country in particular.
Chief Onoja also thanked him for being a blessing to his Local Government Area of Olamaboro through the annual Meeting of the Calebites.
While insisting that Governor Bello has anchored the State on grounds of competence, character and capacity, he recollected that the State had existed for twenty-eight years without a Chapel for Christian worship but boasts of one today, which he noted, is a testament of the Governor’s sensitivity to unity, fairness and religious tolerance.
He solicited for continued prayers for the Government and people of the State from the Dunamis’ Senior Pastor and wished him God’s guidance in his endeavors.
On his part, Pastor Enenche whom at the crusade, commended the Kogi State Government for its stance in ameliorating fears in the face of the coronavirus pandemic also lauded Governor Bello for his gender sensitivity and women inclusion policy, recommending that the model be replicated at the national level.
