The Chairman of Isoko South Local Government, Comrade Friday Warri has tasked religious leaders to embrace reformative and transformative preaching wherever they found themselves.
Hon. Warri gave the charge today in his office at Oleh, headquarters of Isoko South Local Government Area while playing host to the National leadership of Anglican Youth Fellowship (AYF) that paid him a courtesy visit.
The Council Boss stated that modern days ‘christian leaders ‘no longer place emphasis on messages that would convince sinners to repent, rather dwell on messages that are sweet to the ear and prosperity driven.
He however admonished the fellowship leaders to be bold enough in correcting all sort of negative vices that are inimical to the true worship of God Almighty.
The council Chairman therefore, went memory lane to recount how olden days ‘christian leaders ‘ placed premium on preachings that turned people around to live a just,moral and righteous life.
Comrade Warri however, enjoined the Anglican youth fellowship to have a pleasant and memorable stay in Isoko South for their one week long programme that commences on Thursday 7th August,2025 at Emore Grammar School,Oleh.
Earlier, the National Vice Chairman of AYF
had solicited the Council Chairman collaboration in making their one week evangelistic programme a huge success.
He stated that their visit to the Chairman was to intimate him of the National one week long programme that will be hosted by Oleh Diocese of Anglican Communion.
Delegates from across the Nation were part of the visit.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, the Chairman had earlier today granted audience to Comrade Enahano Eric Ewhala, a graduate of Fine and Applied Art from the Delta State University, Abraka who presented to the Chairman a Presidential National Youth Service Corps ( NYSC) Award bestowed on him by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria ,Bola Ahmed Tinibu at the presidential Villa, Abuja.
Comrade Enahano who hails from Igbide Town in Isoko South Local Government was accompanied by his Father and other personalities.
The award presentation was witnessed by the Vice Chairman of Isoko South Local Government, Hon Theresa Ikrike, Hon Zino Osuofa Secretary to the Local Government.
