Edo Deputy Governor Dennis Idahosa Receives Award at Methodist Edo-Delta Harvest Thanksgiving!

Edo State Deputy Governor, Dennis Idahosa, has received an award plaque from the Methodist Bishop of Edo-Delta Diocese, Dr Nosakhare Nosayaba, during the Harvest Thanksgiving service of the Methodist Church of Nigeria, Edo-Delta Diocese, held at the Wesley Cathedral in Benin City.

The presentation took place as part of activities marking the diocese’s harvest thanksgiving, bringing together church leaders, government representatives, worshippers and other members of the community for the religious ceremony.

Bishop Nosakhare Nosayaba presented the plaque to Deputy Governor Idahosa at the Wesley Cathedral, the venue of the thanksgiving service in Benin City. The recognition formed part of the activities surrounding the diocese’s annual harvest observance.

The event also provided an opportunity for religious and public-sector representatives to interact within the setting of the Methodist Church’s thanksgiving programme. Such gatherings traditionally combine worship with expressions of gratitude and community fellowship.

Idahosa’s attendance also reflects the participation of public officials in major religious and community events across Edo State. However, the available information does not indicate the specific reason or criteria behind the award presented to the Deputy Governor.

The Methodist Church of Nigeria remains one of the country’s longstanding Christian denominations, with dioceses and congregations involved in religious activities as well as various community-oriented programmes.

The Edo-Delta Diocese’s harvest thanksgiving therefore formed part of the church’s broader religious calendar, with the Wesley Cathedral in Benin City serving as the venue for the gathering.

Obaland Magazine understands that the ceremony was held in Benin City, Edo State, although further details about the award, including its title, citation and the specific contribution for which Idahosa was recognised, were not provided in the information available for this report.

The event underscores the continuing interaction between religious institutions and public officials in community affairs, particularly during major religious programmes attended by government representatives and members of the public.
