Oshiomhole while commending the renowned business magnate and politician, Chief Ayirimi Emami for establishing a state-of-the-art gas station in the heart of Warri, said the investment exhibits, vote of confidence in the oil policy of President Bola Tinubu.
He added that President Tinubu has put an end to a regime where someone can overnight become a billionaire because he or she has a friend in the oil sector.
Oshiomhole also praised Chief Emami for investing in Nigeria at a time when many young people are leaving the country, describing him as the “best ambassador in the industrial sub-sector”.
For his part Delta State Governor, Rt Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, who was represented by the State Commissioner for Oil and Gas, Chief Vincent Oyibode, commended Chief Emami for building the petrol station, noting that it would create jobs for people in the area.
Also speaking, Chairman of Warri South Local Government Area, Dr. Michael Tidi, lauded Chief Ayirimi Emami for investing in Warri, adding that the administration of Rt. Hon. Sherriff Oborevwori is creating the enabling environment for investors in Delta State.
