Deacon Martins Nwaobaji

 

Assemblies of God Spring of Joy Assembly, Agric was agog with celebration on Sunday the 11th of September as the Church celebrated the greatness of God in delivering his servant, Deacon Martins Nwaobaji.

 

The people danced and praised the Lord and in one voice and agreement shouted “it could have only been God”
The Deacon gave his heart-moving testimony, describing how men of the underworld broke into his compound and robbing the innocent people therein. They didn’t fail to break into his own apartment, and before he knew it, the robbers had released 39 bullet shrapnels which scattered all over his face.

 

Miraculously none got into his eyes, neck or any vital part of his body. They only hit the non vital part of his face and were skin deep.

 

Deacon Simon Nwaobaji has since recovered as he has gone through many corrective surgeries and is very much alive and well to the shame of the devil and to the glory of God.

 

In the man’s words, “I am glad to be alive and blessed to still be in the land of the living. The enemy made an attack on my life but God who is above all has shielded me. I survived 39 bullets to my face and head which is purely a miracle, I would worship God forever because he has shown me great and mighty things”

PDP Will Not Die But Fight For Its Survival –Agbaje

Mr Jimi Agbaje, governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos for the 2015 election, said on Wednesday that the party would remain alive in spite of internal problems.

Agbaje, a candidate for the party`s national chairman position, in Port Harcourt, said that members would keep the party alive, being the main platform for the opposition in the country.

He said the decision of delegates to extend the tenure of the Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee was a good option aimed at keeping the party stronger.

“It is obvious that from the situation we found ourselves, we must keep the PDP alive. It is the still the veritable platform for the opposition. So, the best option is what we have taken, which is to extend the life of the caretaker committee, to expand it as we have decided and to give room for whatever litigation,” he said.

According to him, members believe that at the end of the day, the truth will prevail because the
majority will have their way.

“The PDP is definitely not going to die. The PDP is going to fight for its staying alive,” he said.
Agbaje also said that he was optimistic that before the end of the year, the party would bounce back stronger and more united.

“I’m sure that within the year, we will be very much stronger,” he said.
