Elections: Ibori congratulates Deltans, Okowa


Former Delta state Governor, Chief James Ibori has lauded Deltans and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for  his successful re-election at the March, 9 governorship elections.

  
In a press statement by his media assistant, Mr Tony Eluemunor, Chief Ibori said the people of Delta state spoke with one voice and overwhelmingly supported Dr Okowa to continue his good work in the service of the good people of the state.

He said, “This victory belongs to the whole people of Delta state, not to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members alone because the entire state acted as one to enable Governor Okowa win his electoral victory  convincingly in all parts of the state. I cherish this unity of purpose that has stood Delta state apart as the people have been marching forward politically as one since 1999’’.

He stated that Deltans have since 1999 chosen peace and unity of purpose instead of strife and discord, disharmony and rancour. This wise choice has saved the state from the conflict and internal contention that has wrecked many states in Nigeria”.

Chief Ibori said he was sure that Okowa will continue his good work and remain committed to the whole state as his constituency because his victory was made possible, not by his Anioma people alone, but by all Deltans from the lush and fertile upland areas to the creeks and mangrove swamps of the oil-bearing zones.
