His words: “I thank God that we have made some appointments recently; we are doing what is right, many more appointments will be done and I promised Deltans that I will be equitable, fair and just in the appointments we are going to make; going forward, we believe and rely on the guidance of God.
“More appointments will be made, we ask for the continuous partnership and prayers of all Deltans. I thank all of you for attending this thanksgiving service; this is the greatest part of the celebration; it is to give thanks to God for what He used good people to do for us, for our state.
“There are several reasons to give thanks to God; God was on our side, he is still on our side and he will continue to direct our steps, so, it is very important that we give Him thanks; as we went into the elections, there were all manners of threats, all manners of talks but, God used so many of you to the glory of His name; by God's grace we excelled.
“So, we return the honour to Him, we thank God for what He did for us; the Lord is our strength and as we moving into the second term trusting in Him, we will render service unto our people selflessly.”
“For those who will join us to serve, know that it is a call to service; he has called us to render service unto our people and we will continue to do our best; I believe our Lord, our God will separate Delta state for greater blessings; pray for us continually for the spirit of God to lead us,” he added.
