The promoter and National Coordinator of Center for Peace and Environmental Justice, CEPEJ, Comrade Sheriff Mulade, has commended members of the 2024 Local Organising Committee of the Delta Ethnic Peace and Unity Cup for their tireless and steadfast effort towards achieving a successful event.
The Delta State-born renowned peace and environmental justice advocate who made the commendation at his Africa 4 Peace Office, Ugolo, near Osubi in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State said, “Without your commitment and dedication towards this event, we won’t have achieved this robust and remarkable success”.
He noted, “It is imperative to state that no competition is totally free of teething challenges and encumbrances. However, we have learnt some positive lessons that would enhance our next edition planning that will kick-off on November 16th, 2026,” he stated.
The global peace ambassador expressed his deep appreciation and sincere thanks to all members of the LOC, particularly, Hon Kenneth Nwaomucha, the immediate-past Chairman of Delta State Football Association (DFA) who sacrificed and created time to ensure the success of the tournament.
He said, “Let me equally use this opportunity to specially recognise and appreciate Ex-Super Eagles Players, Peter Rufai, Edema Fuludu and Sam Sodje, our partners, various ethnic groups, and all participating teams for supporting sustainable peaceful coexistence and promoting cultural diversity in Delta State”.
