Urhobo youths have commenced prayers to ensure Hon Stella Okotete’s confirmation by the Senate as a minister after President Bola Tinubu nominated her.
In a statement on Friday, August 11, the president of the Abuja chapter of Urhobo Youth Council, Hon Peter Aghogho, appealed to President Tinubu to intervene in Okotete’s confirmation by the Senate.
Insisting that Okotete’s nomination was divinely ordained, Aghogho said the council would stand by her and ensure they also support her with prayers.
He stated: “We will take this matter to God as the blame game isn’t the way forward; there is nothing God can not do; just as we have decided not to point accusing fingers towards anybody on this happening, we will not rest in calling on God to intervene as well as the President, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
” Keeping silent in an important matter of national development is inappropriate.
“The nomination of Stella Okotete was all about competence and performance-driven criteria.”
