In a heartfelt expression of gratitude, Comrade Oyowe Churchill, the Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Delta State, led his Executive Council and fellow journalists to Mega Praise Church in Sapele on Sunday for a special Thanksgiving Service.
The gathering was organized to thank God for the successful, free, fair, and peaceful union elections that resulted in the new leadership of the NUJ in Delta State.
The journalists received a warm welcome from Evangelist Michael Diden, the Founder and General Overseer of Mega Praise Church, affectionately known as Ejele, along with the church congregation.
During the service, Comrade Oyowe Churchill expressed deep appreciation to God for the peaceful election process, highlighting that despite the usual tensions surrounding union elections, the NUJ experienced a spirit of peace and unity.
"This visit is a conscious effort to give all glory to God and to seek His guidance as we embark on the journey of revitalizing the NUJ in Delta State," Churchill stated. "We are here to thank God for making our election peaceful and successful. Without His intervention, this achievement would not have been possible. We dedicate this new leadership to Him."
He also expressed gratitude to union members for their trust and commitment, promising an inclusive administration focused on the welfare of journalists, professionalism, and unity among members in the state.
Churchill further acknowledged Hon. Prince Michael Diden, praising his exceptional leadership qualities, which contributed to the decision to hold the thanksgiving at his church. He encouraged Diden to continue his distinctive leadership style that has resonated with union members.
In response, Evangelist Michael Diden congratulated Comrade Churchill and his Executive Council on their election victory, offering prayers for wisdom, strength, and good health to guide them in their leadership roles.
Ejele emphasized the vital role of journalists as society's watchdogs, urging them to report truthfully and fearlessly, while also promoting peace and development in Delta State. He encouraged them to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, and the APC through their platforms.
The Thanksgiving Service was filled with uplifting songs, prayers, and joyous celebrations as church members joined the journalists in expressing their gratitude to God. The event was attended by NUJ Executive Council members, veteran journalists, church members, and well-wishers from Sapele and beyond.
