In his address the Superintendent, Rivers District Assemblies of God Nigeria, Rev. Dr. Daddy Ibulubo said it was in the Rivers District that Assemblies of God Nigeria, as well as the cradle of the Pentecostal movement started, following the descent of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues by the founding fathers.

According to him the District was created in 1967, with only two sections and a sparse membership which has now grown and produced 13 other Districts.

The event was witnessed by several dignitaries including the Special Adviser to Governor Wike on Religious Matters as well as the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Nigeria, Rev. (Dr) Chidi Okoroafori.
