“We hope that whatever you have been doing very well you will even do more.

“We wish you success in your career.

“I thank the service chiefs for finding time to be here in this ceremony.

  3. The Presidency must have a rethink about the appointment of the Niger Delta Minister Mr. G.Orubebe who has disappointed & faked the Niger Delta People to enrich himself.

    Nigerians are waiting to cast their vote by 2015 to their choice candidate as Delta State Governor’s seat will not be for sale or inherited, it shall be fight to finish no rigging no snatching of ballot boxes purely politics.

    The seating Governor of Delta State should hasting up and complete his projects, there will be no room for abandoned projects in Delta hence forth 2015.

  4. THE PRESIDENCY,
    The Urhobo’s has been neglected for too long especially in the areas of appointments, there is no single Urhobo as a minister or any position at the presidency why?

    We are Nigerians from the Niger Delta the presidency must have a rethink and consider an Urhobo position in the presidency, it is very Imperative as 2015 election is around the corner the Urhobo’s makes 70% of the votes that comes from Delta State therefore deserve a place at the top.

  5. I advise Deltans to vote Olorogun Otega Emerhor of All Progressive Congress without hesitation in the upcoming Governorship election, he is the man of the moment as far as the Owviamuge declaration is concern, Urhobos should therefore be careful with their Votes not for a party without a presidential candidate that has left us in the dark for long.
