Governor of Delta State and Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has congratulated the Dein of Agbor Kingdom, Benjamin Ikenchukwu, Keagborekuzi 1, on his 45th birth anniversary.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olisa Ifeajika, on Tuesday, the Governor described the monarch as one of Nigeria’s most respected kings, whose virtues testify to his pedigree.

He noted that the monarch’s reign had been peaceful and commended him for creating an investor-friendly environment since he ascended the ancient throne of his forefathers.

He prayed that the Almighty God will continue to give the Dein good health and wisdom to pilot the traditional affairs of his kingdom and offer valuable contributions to the development of Delta state and the country in the years ahead.

Meanwhile, Governor Okowa has condoled with the family and friends of a former Nigerian diplomat, Ambassador Ejeviome Otobo.

The governor expressed deep sadness at the passing of the renowned career diplomat and said that the news of his death was shocking and was made more painful by the circumstances surrounding the incident.

He said that the late Otobo etched the name of Nigeria at the United Nations headquarters in New York, where he held top positions, including Director and Assistant Secretary-General of the world body, and regretted that he would be missed for his outstanding contributions to global governance and peace-building initiatives.
