“We are also thankful to the Chairman for appointing two other sons of Ebu community as his aides. This is the first time that we are getting these huge appointments from the Local Government, and we are so grateful to him for considering our community to partner with him to actualise his PUTA-IFE mantra for the LGA.”
Chief Agbomah further expressed his gratitude to the state governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori for giving the Council Chairman (Hon. Esewezie Innocent) the enabling environment and moral support to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people of the area.
“On behalf of the good people of Ebu community, I want to say Thank You to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for giving our Chairman the platform to operate. I will say that we are lucky to have him as Governor of our dear state. He is a father and leader to all Deltans, and we will continue to pray for the success of his administration,” he said.
