Okowa made the call on Saturday, January 4 at a thanksgiving service hosted by House of Representatives member, Ben Igbakpa in Ethiope West local government area of the state. He said that it was proper to appreciate God for His mercies, but that service to humanity would glorify God more. He advised politicians to remember that there should be no discrimination in ensuring that all those within their constituencies enjoy the benefits of good representation.

His words: “The power to turn things around come from heaven; it is giving yourself in service to God, ensuring that in all that you do, you do it in such a manner that is pleasing to God, because, it is important that you give yourself to God and above all, love your neighbour as yourself. “When you fail to forgive those who trespass against, God will not forgive you; in your position, use it to serve God by the manner with which you render service to the people.” “As an elected representative, we hope that the electorate will not overburden you with demands because, the expectations are high but there is a limit you can go as a member of House of Representatives,” Governor Okowa told the lawmaker. He further commended the lawmaker for thanking God for his victory in the 2019 election and at the court. On his part, Igbakpa observed that thanksgiving to God was important because his victory at the polls was made possible by God. He also thanked those who God used to make the victory possible. Former Delta state governor, Chief James Ibori, Senator James Manager and Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu were among other dignitaries at the event
