Rivers State Governor Sir Siminalayi Fubara donated N200 million on Sunday to support efforts to upscale the infrastructure profile of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) Worldwide, founded by Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere.
Fubara made the donation at an event to mark the 18th-year anniversary of the church and the 51st birthday celebration of Apostle Chinyere.
The event took place at the church’s headquarters known as Doctor Jesus’s City, Mbodo, Aluu near Port Harcourt.
Speaking at the event, Fubara promised to continue to support the church in any way possible.
The governor said: “Let me say congratulations to this church because the GO “Power” will not succeed without the support of you. So, I want to thank you for supporting Power.
“I am happy to be here, especially to celebrate this birthday with him. He has been a very strong supporter of our cause. Right from the time we started this journey, he has kept faith with me in prayers.
“I strongly believe his prayer and the prayers of the church are one of the reasons that while in the face of all our troubles, we are still standing. There is nothing God cannot do. So, I know that with your continuous prayers, we will overcome this present challenge.
“I am aware that there is a building for your TV station, and one of the dreams for that place is when you finish it, guests will be staying there when they come for programmes. Let me, on behalf of the government and everyone of you here, and the good people of Rivers State, donate the sum of N200million to support the project.
“Power has injected my own power to you. So, I need more power, more power for the progress of Rivers State, more power for the defense of humanity in Rivers State. God will bless you people for your prayers, and I assure you, we will not fail you.”
Speaking further at the event, Fubara revealed that the current political crisis rocking the State is for the sole control of the state resources.
He assured Rivers people that his government will continue to utilize the state resources judiciously for the betterment and overall interest of the people.
