High Chief Dr. Godspower Gbenekama has expressed profound gratitude to the Ijaw nation, specifically Gbaramatu Kingdom and friends for standing by him and his family during and after the funeral rites of his late wife Amb Blessing Oghale Gbenekama.
Gbenekama, said in appreciation note, said Tuesday, “In all situations we are told to always give thanks to the Almighty God as a demonstration of our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Moreover, it is popularly said proverbially that “the eyes that cry still sees”. It is on that note that I, HIGH CHIEF AMB. DR. T. D. A. GODSPOWER GBENEKAMA (JP), the Fiyewei of Gbaramatu Kingdom in the Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, on behalf of my family hereby tender this profound message of thanks on the love shown me and my household on the demise of my late precious wife, AMB. MRS. BLESSING OGHALE GBENEKAMA (JP), whose sad event took place on Friday, June 7, 2024, and was finally laid to rest on Friday, June 14, 2024″.
Firstly, I give all thanks to the Almighty God (in whom lies eternal wisdom, knowledge and understanding beyond those of men) for everything that transpired and for the strength, grace and protection during the sad incident of the loss of my dear wife, and even after the funeral ceremonies. To the glory of His name, no accident or incident was recorded in the course of the activities, as all who were in attendance came safely and also departed safely. Moreover, the Almighty God used as many personalities as His instrument to strengthen and to make provisions beyond my expectations. This is not the first time in my life that I am receiving such a show of love but this one beats my imagination. It can only be God!” he noted.
