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.
