I want to appreciate the leaders, elders and people of Southern Ijaw LGA for coming to celebrate our victory and wishing me a Happy New Year. I thank you for the encomiums you have poured on our government.


We know the priority of Southern Ijaw people. We know it is the road. That is why we have continued to pay much attention to it. The Oporoma bridge construction is at an advanced stage. We are very sure that in our second tenure that bridge will be completed at record time. And Oporoma the headquarters of Southern Ijaw LGA will be connected by road. If anybody doubts us, we will put them to shame.

My dear people of Southern Ijaw, let us do what is right. Let us be tolerant. Let us recognize everybody. Let us desist from blackmails and pulling down syndrome. We need to assist each other to grow. There is none of us that is perfect. Leadership is not by the most educated or richest. Let us work and put ourselves together. Let us be our brothers keeper.

Moving forward, I know you will also improve on the election result in Southern Ijaw LGA. I thank you for using your intelligence and strategy to overcome those who believed in guns. You were able to mobilize your people to vote and support our government."
