A Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has stirred social media reactions after a video surfaced showing him performing ushering duties during a Sunday service at Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel), Osubi.
In the viral clip, Governor Oborevwori was seen collecting offering baskets and coordinating the congregation, a role he reportedly undertook regularly even before assuming office in 2023.
The governor, who also serves as an elder in the church, appeared calm and focused as he participated in the service, drawing attention from worshippers and online observers alike.
Supporters hail humility and spiritual devotion
Supporters have praised the governor’s actions as a sincere display of humility and faith, describing it as a testament to his commitment to spiritual values despite his political office.
They argue that his consistent participation in church activities reflects a grounded personality and genuine devotion to his faith.
Many social media users also lauded him for maintaining his religious service despite the pressures of governance, calling it an example for other political leaders.
Critics question motive behind viral video
However, critics have dismissed the act as a calculated public performance designed to project modesty amid ongoing criticisms of his administration.
Some have linked the timing of the viral video to efforts to reshape public perception ahead of the 2026 general elections.
They cite ongoing infrastructure challenges and recent controversies, including the arrest of journalist Fejiro Oliver, as factors influencing the mixed reactions to the governor’s church appearance.
