Bayelsa PDP Chieftains, Hon. Obuebite Cancels Birthday Celebration, Holds Prayers Session For Flood Victims.
Commend Governor Diri for alleviating the pains of his people.
A chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party and immediate past Commissioner for Education, Hon. Jonathan Robinson Obuebite, PhD has cancelled the celebration of his birthday anniversary rather he used the occasion to pray for the victims of the ravaging flooding including his family and especially those who lost their loved ones.
Hon. Obuebite was quoted in a statement that this is not a period for merry-making noting the devastating effect of the flooding on the people of the state.
This period, according to him calls for sober reflection, adding that the entire state has been submerged by water.
We have lost promising souls. People have lost their means of livelihood. Many landlords have been turned into refugees at Internally Displaced Person Camps located across the state by Governor Douye Diri-led Prosperity administration.
There is a need to empathise with other victims because we have our friends and relations among them.
Throwing birthday parties during this period is as good as mocking the victims. I will never do that.
Aside from being a Christian, I was not brought up that way. The Bible teaches us that we should rejoice with people who are rejoicing and mourn with people who are mourning.
The only special gift I have and have presented to the victims is a prayer session that was held at the chapel in my Compound.
The former Chief Whip also used the occasion to thank the Governor for the cash and relief material he sent to Okoroma and Oluasiri in Nembe Local Government Area. Saying it will go a long way to cushion the devastating effect of flood on his people.
What is needed most during this period is prayers and support for our people and we have done that
The time will come for celebration but this is not the best time.
