Akpata Joins Congregation In Celebrating New Worship Centre At Christ Chosen Church Of God International

Written By Oshiobugie John

On Saturday, Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate for Edo State, attended the grand commissioning of the impressive twenty thousand-seater International Worship Centre of the Christ Chosen Church of God International in Benin City. This magnificent edifice stands as a testament to the church’s growth and dedication. Akpata extended his heartfelt congratulations to the Spiritual Leader, Apostle David Unuefe Ikhuiwu, and the entire congregation on reaching this significant milestone.

The event was particularly memorable for Akpata due to the presence of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, former President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), who served as the guest minister. Akpata expressed that seeing Pastor Oritsejafor at the event brought back a flood of memories and emotions, enriching the occasion with personal significance.

Reflecting on his own spiritual journey, Akpata shared that his Christian faith is deeply intertwined with Pastor Oritsejafor’s ministry. For over two decades, while residing in Warri, Akpata was privileged to sit under Pastor Oritsejafor’s spiritual guidance, initially at the Church of God Mission International (CGMI) and later at the World of Life Bible Church, founded by Pastor Oritsejafor. The church’s motto, “Building and Equipping Those Who Build the Nation,” resonates profoundly with Akpata’s current pursuits and ambitions for Edo State.
