In fact, this one appointment has been long in coming and we have been so eager to welcome the helmsman of one of the key ministries of the state government.
Interestingly, the governor in his wisdom seems to have taken critical considerations in appointing someone who has been on ground and understands the terrain so well.
We are confident that your wealth of experience as the spokesman of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the state should have prepared you sufficiently for the onerous task ahead of you.
Very importantly, we are optimistic your engagement with the Union and journalists in the state will redress pervading mixed feelings and misgivings previously shared by some sections of the media.
Once again, we congratulate you on your new role and office and pledge to work with you to deliver on the mandates of the MORE Agenda of the Rt. Hon. (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori administration.
Comrade Churchill Oyowe,
Chairman, NUJ Delta Council
Comrade Victor Sorokwu,
State Secretary, NUJ Delta Council
