Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has congratulated Apostle Chibuzo Gift Chinyere, the General Overseer and Founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) on his 50th birthday celebration.
Governor Otti, who was a special guest at the headquarters of the church at Dr. Jesus City, Aluu, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Sunday, also felicitated Apostle Chibuzo and the congregation on the church’s 17th anniversary.
In a statement released by the Chief Press Secretary to the Abia State Governor, Kazie Uko, dated October 22, 2023, Otti described the OPM founder as a true man of God. He recalled the prophetic statement Apostle Chibuzo made way back in January, when the Governor visited the church as a candidate of the Labour Party for the Abia governorship election in March 2023.
The cleric had said: “In this church, there are different people from different (political) parties. There is PDP here. There is APC here, there is APGA, there are different, different parties. But I will say my own opinion, and you know me, I don’t mince words.
“I strongly believe that Alex Otti is the answer we have been waiting for. I believe that his governorship is going to bring a mighty turnaround, a liberation, a transformation in the decay going on in Abia State.
“Abia is in a decayed state and it needs deliverance. This is my state, I’m ashamed of going to my State.”
According to the statement, Governor Otti said he had returned to the church to, first of all, give thanks to God and, secondly, congratulate Apostle Chibuzo on his 50th birthday; thirdly, to congratulate the church on its 17th anniversary as well as appreciate the parishioners for their support in the last governorship election, where he emerged victorious.
