“We are very appreciative that you recognized us the traditional rulers from the Delta North extraction and for bringing this important message to us. We are happy to receive you for many reasons because It is not easy to serve humanity.
“Your people have done well, we have not forgotten the role of late General David Ejoor, Chief Jereton Mariere who lived with us here. I want to say new broom sweeps well but the old broom sweeps better. I just decided to call some of those names for you to know that we have friends that we cannot easily forget”.
While appealing to leaders and members of DC-23 present to support Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to finish well and strong, the monarch advised DC-23 to go home and put their house in order for easy politicking come 2023.
