Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta State), Umo Eno (Akwa-Ibom State), Lucky Aiyedatiwa (Ondo State), Bassey Otu (Cross River State), and Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers State).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was gathered that Over 2,000 Bibles will be distributed during the service, which will feature prayers seeking economic wisdom and patriotic spirit for the governors. The event&#8217;s organizers are inspired by the legacy of the region&#8217;s founding governors, such as HRM Alfred Diete Spiff, Chief Udokobo Jacob Esuene, and Chief Samuel Osaigbovo Ogbemudia, who drove development and industrialization in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Niger Delta region is currently facing numerous challenges, including economic hardship, insecurity, and environmental degradation. The event&#8217;s organizers hope that the spiritual deliverance service will inspire the governors to take bold steps to address these challenges and restore the region&#8217;s lost glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated in the event&#8217;s advertorial, &#8220;A Mother&#8217;s prayer is the solution to her children&#8217;s predicament.&#8221; The organizers believe that the prayers of the mothers will bring about a positive transformation in the region&#8217;s leadership and ultimately lead to the development and prosperity of the Niger Delta region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Freeborn Abraye Following the perceived bad governance and poor economic policies in Niger Delta,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3459,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[16],"tags":[931],"class_list":["post-3461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-religion","tag-bad-governance-mothers-to-hold-ndelta-governors-deliverance-prayers-feb-15"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1b2b6b39-d0d6-47d9-a005-eb513d70bd89-1.webp?fit=763%2C599&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3487,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2025\/02\/17\/foremost-niger-delta-leader-joseph-evah-bags-ernest-lkoli-personality-award-of-excellence-dedicates-award-to-niger-delta-mothers\/","url_meta":{"origin":3461,"position":0},"title":"Foremost Niger Delta Leader, Joseph Evah Bags Ernest lkoli Personality Award Of Excellence, Dedicates Award To Niger Delta Mothers","author":"Freeborn Abraye","date":"February 17, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"By Freeborn Abraye A renowned Nigerian human and environmental rights activst, super Comrade Joseph Evah, the National Coordinator ljaw Monitoring Group has bagged the prestigious Ernest lkoli Personality Award of Excellence.
