| Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. |
Comrade Ovuozourie Macaulay has hailed the emergence of His
Excellency the Governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa as the chairman
of the South South Governors Forum,
Macaulay who was a former Secretary to the State Government
(SSG) said that the choice of Okowa was apposite given his candour and mien.
A statement by Stella Sanu, Public relations Officer, Warri/Uvwie
and Environs Special Area Development Agency (WUEDA) stated: “The decision of
the Governors of the region to settle for Okowa’s leadership is apt and I have
no doubt in my mind that he will excel because he is calm, calculated and
resourceful.
“Given his antecedent in Delta State especially in tackling the
problem of insecurity, I know that Governor Okowa will bring this rich
experience to bear on security issues in the region and the security challenges
of the country in general.
“He will not only curb the security challenges, but unite the
people of the region as well as galvanize the states to surmount the economic
and developmental problems confronting the region,” he stated.
Macaulay who is Director General (DG) of Warri/Uvwie and
Environs Special Area Development Agency (WUEDA), urged the Governors of the
region to rally round the new chairman to get the best for the people.
Delta State Governor was selected as chairman after elaborate
consultations by governors of the region. He succeeds the out gone former governor
of Bayelsa State, Dr. Seriake Dickson whose tenure as governor ended recently.
