and Nigerians in general.
The governor said: “With a deep sense of
profound gratitude to God Almighty, I thank you all for your support to my
administration in the past two years. I appreciate immensely the unalloyed
support and cooperation that our administration has enjoyed from Deltans. I
salute our collective resolve to continue to live together in peace.
“I assure Deltans, that we remain irrevocably
committed to the delivery of our strategic wealth creation projects as
encapsulated in our agenda. I thank the illustrious youths and leaders of the
