Chief James Onanefe Ibori

Former Executive Governor

Delta State

I rejoice with you on the joyous occasion of your 63rd birthday

I join my voice with millions to celebrate your sterling leadership qualities and roles in building a virile democracy as well as a politically healthy and economically strong Nigeria.

I recall your views on true federalism, good governance and resource control.

I recollect the roads, bridges, houses and many others you bequeathed to Delta State.

I can’t forget the payment of salaries, gratuities and pensions, improvement of the welfare of the state workforce, employment of thousands into the state civil service and your vision in pioneering overseas scholarship.

I am excited about your commitment to the service of the fatherland, promotion of amity among the good people of Delta State, grooming of successors, creation of stars and contribution to the good of the family.

You deserve to be celebrated and honoured for building a far better Delta State, working with first class professionals and intellectuals and demonstrating eloquently that there is nothing as good as a leader writing his name in gold in the heart of his people by keeping faith with them.

Once again, I congratulate you on your birthday and wish you God’s protection, good health and many more rewarding years ahead
