The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori has said that the inspite of the challenges Delta as a state has faced over the years, it still remains as strong and united more than ever
Oberevwori who made this known in a congratulatory message to Deltans on the occasion of the State’s 30years anniversary, which was signed on his behalf by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Dennis Otu, said the celebration is well-deserved, adding that the best is yet to come for the state and its people.
The Speaker stressed that marking three decades together as a state is a thing of joy and that Deltans have every reason to roll-out drums in jubilation as according to him, a lot of positive changes have taken place.
He said, “In each of the passing decades, there have been alot of improvement by successive governments. Presently Delta State is stable and peaceful, there is unity and peaceful co-existence. United we stand and divided we fall and so we must continue to be united as a people. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the creation of Delta State, let us collectively shun all divisive tendencies. Let us therefore resolve to join hands and move our dear state to enviable heights. One thing we must all know is that when you have peace, development thrives”, he said.
The Speaker lauded Governor Okowa for his visionary leadership and his achievements since becoming Governor, adding that; “Our Governor has done very well and his achievements are there for all to see. I want to use this opportunity to congratulate our Governor on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the creation of Delta State and to implore Deltans to continue to give him the needed support”.
“I congratulate Deltans for the 30th anniversary of the creation of our dear state and sincerely thank them for their support to the Okowa’s led administration. I implore all to help sustain the peace we are enjoying today. Where there is no peace, development will not thrive. No nation develop in a crisis situation. For the state to move forward, we must sustain the existing peace, unity and love amongst us”.
