As Delta state marks its 26 anniversary, Deputy Governor of the State, Barr. Kingsley Otuaro, has said that Delta State has the potential to be greater among comity of states in Nigeria.
He said that the task of reaching its potential is a collective responsibility of Deltans and all other stakeholders.
Otuaro, who spoke through his Senior Special Assistant on Communication and Press, Bulou Kosin, tasked stakeholders to show understanding with the State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa in moving the state forward.
He however appealed to Deltans to be patience with the governor as he grapples with the challenge of building the state despite economic challenges facing the country.
“With remarkable strides in all sectors and empowerment programmes for our youths put in place by Delta State Governor, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa, who is an astute administrator, Delta State holds the potential of becoming greater in the comity of states in Nigeria”, Otuaro said.
To warring communities in the state, Otuaro appealed: “I want warring communities in the state to give peace a chance so that scarce resources in the state could be deployed to programmes meant to raise the quality of life of the people and uplifting the youths of Delta State for a greater tomorrow”.
Otuaro, who is Chairman of the Delta State Advocacy Committee Against Oil Facility Vandalism, however called on militants to help the cause of improved resources for building the state by rather protecting oil facilities from vandals.
