The Executive Director Projects, Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, Olorogun Dr. Ebenezer Okorodudu on Wednesday April 1, called on Christian faithful to genuinely reflect spiritually during the Easter celebration.
Dr. Okorodudu made the call at this year's Delta Broadcasting Service, DBS Warri Resurrection Dinner 2026 with the theme, "Crucify with Christ" at DBS, Edjeba Warri, Delta State.
Dr. Okorodudu said without the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, there would be no Christianity and elaborated on the need for Christian faithful to reflect on the importance of the resurrection, not merely on the physical death on the cross of Calvary, but the sacrifices, noting that believers should use this period to sanctify themselves on the essence of the prices paid on the cross of Calvary by our Lord Jesus Christ to save humanity.
Quoting from Galatians 2: 20 were Apostle Paul said, "I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who lives but Christ lives in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me and gave himself up for me," he called on politicians, civil servants, business men and others to imbibe true leadership as exemplified by the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, noting that the gathering was a call for sober reflection on the essence of the true meaning of Easter celebration.
Earlier, the General Manager of Delta Broadcasting Service, Warri, Pastor Malcolm Oteri had welcomed all the distinguished personalities and various groups at the occasion.
Mr. Oteri noted that the event was the 10th edition of Delta Broadcasting Service Warri, Resurrection Dinner, aimed at highlighting the true meaning of Easter celebration by Christians and called on politicians, parents and guardians to pay attention to the young ones in the society, noting that the level of moral decadence amongst the youth is alarming and if not urgently addressed, would lead to societal breakdown.
He then commended the Chairman of the Board of Delta Broadcasting Service DBS, Warri, Olorogun Elegbete Moses Odibo, for the pragmatism and dedication to the affairs of the agency.
The annual event featured speakers such as Rev. Mrs. Ufuoma Omatsheye; Special Guest of honor, Comrade Ovuozorie Macaulay; Spiritual Father of the day, Archbishop Iboyi Godday; President, Okpe Christian Association, Rev. Godspower Agbadita; Rev.
