The Governor said: “On behalf of my family, the Government and people of Delta State, I warmly congratulate our distinguished leader and former Governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, CON, on the celebration of his 67th birth anniversary.
“Your journey through public service has been remarkable, reflecting years of sacrifice, resilience and commitment to the progress of our people.

“You remain a respected political leader and statesman whose experience, strategic insight and contributions to the growth of Delta State are deeply appreciated.
“Your tenure as Governor left important footprints in the development of our state, while your continuing commitment to peace, unity and progress remains worthy of commendation.”
Continuing, Oborevwori said; “As you celebrate this significant milestone, I join your family, friends, associates and admirers in thanking Almighty God for His faithfulness in your life.
