Seventh Day Baptist Church Hosts Low-Key Birthday Celebration for Bro. Obuah

Bro. Felix Obuah, the Rivers State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), celebrated his birthday in a low-key gathering at the Church of God (Seventh Day), Family Worship Centre in Port Harcourt on December 16, 2019. The event, which was not formally planned, brought together his family, friends, and members of the congregation. The celebration began unexpectedly when his children entered his bedroom early in the morning, singing “happy birthday” and praying with him.

At 4 am, Obuah was awakened by a worship service that included singing and trumpeting, reminiscent of angels ascending and descending. He joined his wife, children, and friends in the parlour before the gathering moved to the Family Worship Centre. The event reflected the community’s appreciation for his life and service.

In his testimony, Obuah expressed deep gratitude to God, recalling surviving an assassination attempt exactly ten years prior. “For me, each morning I wake up, I see it as a birthday because if not for God I should have been dead 10 years ago,” he said. Obuah, who also serves as the Sole Administrator of the Rivers State Waste Management Agency (RIWAMA) and the Paramount Ruler of Go-Round Community (World-Wide), vowed to continue his commitment to serving God and humanity.

He emphasized his reliance on God’s blessings, stating, “There is nothing that I own that is not given to me by God. I will remain eternally grateful to Him. I will never relent in His praise and worship. I will continue to win souls for Christ.” Obuah also highlighted his gratitude for God’s protection and peace, noting that he could not quantify these blessings with material things.

Friends and community members present at the service praised Obuah for his philanthropy and service to the less privileged in the state. Several local officials, including Hon. Nathaniel Owaji, Hon. Major Jack, and Hon. Shadrack Chukwu, also commended his contributions and dedication to the community. The gathering underscored the importance of gratitude, community support, and the role of faith in personal and public life.
