Friends, well-wishers and members of Christ Embassy Church converged at the Viontel Hotel along Stadium Road Port Harcourt recently to rally their loved one, Deacon Sergius Oguns as he celebrated his 50th birthday.
In his speech, Sergius Oguns thanked God for keeping him up to 50 years even as he expects to live for more years. Speaking to newsmen, the celebrant said he sees his 50 years of existence as a blessing, with the support of his wife, he has been able to put up some social amenities, as well as sponsored students both in paying their examination and school fees.
Answering questions from press men on the issue of political ambition, he said his benevolence to his community is his love for the people, adding that this money he spent on his people can not be compared with how much his friends spend taking girl friends on overseas trips, but he did it as a child of God.
The man of God however, stated that if given any political opportunity he will do more to affect lives at the community level where poverty seems to hold sway.
On how he feels, at fifty he likened it to 25 years, as he look strong to preach the word of God.
Respondents in their separate interactions with newsmen described the celebrant as a good man who has helped his people so well.
Hon. S. O. Amodial, Lawrence and others pledged to support him if he aspires for political office.
The wife, Mrs. Oguns, described her husband as a responsible man, who knows his duty, loves God and mankind, adding that her husband delights in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. ###
