“Your contributions to the peace and development of Delta State remains indelible in the hearts of Deltans, especially to the families and children who benefited from the free under-5 and  maternal care programme which your administration introduced on your assumption of office in 2007. “As an administration, we have continued to fine tune health programmes in the state  with a view to  making Delta State the least in Maternal Mortality Rate MMR and fast track our goal of attaining universal health coverage.

“I join your family, friends and well-wishers to thank Almighty God for His continued guidance, protection and provision for you in the past 62 years of a life of service to humanity”.
