Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Monday Igbuya, on Tuesday described the Supreme Court judgement that confirmed the victory of the state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, at the election as brilliant and straightforward.
He also said Okowa’s victory at the apex court was well deserved as “it is the will of a democratic majority”.
Igbuya, in a statement issued in Abuja, said Okowa’s victory at the Supreme Court should be seen as “historic”.
He further described the governor’s victory in the April 11, 2015, governorship election as a testimony of his recognition and his immense ability and contributions to the state.
“One was not in doubt that you would emerge the winner at the apex court,” he said.
The Speaker acknowledged Okowa’s dogged commitment to the development and unity of the state.
He praised the governor for translating his campaign promises into concrete verifiable imperatives.
He also praised him for transforming the state to a cohesive, modern wealth creation enterprise.
“Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa is providing service oriented leadership to the people. He is directing the energies of the youths to creative and constructive channels. He is making Delta State politically vibrant and ethnically united,” he said.
Igbuya, a man that will never violate the norms of good governance, progressive leadership, integrity and credibility, also promised to rise to his constitutional and public duties.
“The Delta State House of Assembly will give His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa the needed support to move the state forward,” he said.
An elated Igbuya appealed to Chief Great Ogboru and Chief O’tega Emerhor to join Governor Okowa in developing the state.
He expressed appreciation to the people of the State for electing Dr. Okowa, urging them to key- into the S.M.A.R.T agenda of the current administration.
“Let us work toward a better and greater Delta State,” he added.
