As I promised our people, we want to remain focused as a government and work for the people of Delta State to the very last day of this administration.

Okowa said: “I want to congratulate you for this appointment and it is my prayer that you put in your best as we run through the next few months to the end of this administration.

“There is no doubt that at this point in time, there is a whole lot that would want to distract us, but I want to urge that both Mr. Azaka in DESOPADEC and Mr Ojei, Special Adviser, should do all that you can to be able to offer the dividends of democracy to our people in these few months”.

He held that there must be a connection between political appointees and the people at the grassroots.
