Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue
State has disclosed that but for the encouragement and prayers he got from the
General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye
and his wife, Folu, he would have quit contesting for a second term in office, which
he eventually won.
Ortom made this known at the
weekend during the church’s monthly Holy Ghost Service (vigil) at Km 46
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
He said that he came to testify
to the supremacy of God and to thank Adeboye for the supportive roles he played
when he wanted to contest in 2014, as well as the just-concluded general
election.
He said: “When I wanted to
contest for the 2015 election, I came to the Redemption Camp to pray and I went
to Daddy and Mummy G.O. They prayed for me with all the challenges that
accompanied the race, I became the governor and I was sworn in.
“In 2017, challenges came over me
and I said I was not going to contest again in 2019, let me remain a one–term
governor. The following day during my devotion, God told me why do I decided to
be a lone ranger and I decided to consult God and God told me He is the first
and the last, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega.
“I picked up the courage, came to
the altar and Daddy G. O. again, he prayed for me.
“But so many challenges came as
we went through the race and there was this particular day before the election
that G. O called me when I was completely depressed and did not know what to
do.
“After the prayer, we were
encouraged again, and went through the race, with all the challenges, God saw
me through and I was elected the Governor of Benue state again. Praise be to
the Lord.”
