AHEAD of May 29 commencement of second term in office, Delta State Governor, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has directed members of the state Executive Council to handover to their Permanent Secretaries before the close of work on Friday, May 24, 2019.
Okowa who gave the directive on Tuesday at a valedictory executive council meeting, thanked members of the state executive council for their collective efforts and determination which ensured the execution of government programmes and policies to the satisfaction of Deltans.
He promised to run an all-inclusive government in his second term as such was instrumental to the success recorded so far in the delivery of policies and programmes by his administration.
“In the last four years, I have had a working team; an Exco that realized that we are together and that our success story will be told together and I am proud to say that it is the collective efforts of each and every one of us that has given us our success stories which also resulted in the resounding victory we recorded at the elections,” Governor Okowa said, adding, “God’s grace was obviously with us but I believe that if each and every one of us had our own different beliefs, working in different ways.”

“I believe that we will not have been able to achieve what we have achieved thus far; so, I will first of all want to thank each and every one of you (members of the state executive council) for the wonderful comments that you have made this afternoon and appreciate you more for the commitment of each and every one of you in your previous offices in the last four years, because, there is no doubt that you have all been very loyal to the deputy governor and myself and that loyalty has kept the team together; I want to thank each and every one of you; I can rightfully say that none of you betrayed the confidence that I have in you.”
He continued, “in our EXCO meetings, we have had discussions and debates and I want to thank each one of you for being very frank, I have learnt a lot from your individual comments and ideas.”
