Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, has sparked widespread reactions on social media after he was seen performing ushering duties at the ongoing Shiloh 2025 programme of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel.
The governor was spotted dressed modestly, joining other church volunteers to guide worshippers and maintain order during one of the services at the annual faith-based gathering, which is holding at the church’s international headquarters in Ota, Ogun State.
Shiloh, an annual convocation of the Living Faith Church, attracts thousands of worshippers from across Nigeria and beyond, including political leaders, professionals, and faith adherents. Governor Oborevwori’s presence and participation stood out, as he was seen engaging in what
many described as a humble act of service rather than occupying a special or reserved position.Videos and photos of the governor ushering quickly circulated online, drawing mixed reactions. While some Nigerians praised the governor for demonstrating humility and commitment to his faith despite his high political office, others described the moment as unusual for a sitting governor.
Supporters, however, argued that the act reflects the church’s teaching on service and leadership by example, noting that Winners Chapel places strong emphasis on humility and voluntary service, regardless of social status.
Governor Oborevwori, a long-time member of the Living Faith Church, has not officially commented on the viral moment. However, the development has continued to generate conversations on the relationship between faith, leadership, and public office in Nigeria.
