“The story is meant to ridicule the political aides of the Delta State House of Assembly and belittle them in the estimation of right thinking persons
Ebireri praised Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for accelerating the development of the state, piloting the people to the door of prosperity and revolutionalizing governance in the state through the dispensation of noticeable democratic dividends.
“Government is fully committed to the welfare of political aides and civil servants in the state” Ebireri said.
“Governor Ifeanyi Okowa remains a humble man, pursuing the tenets of integrity, transparency, honesty and such virtues that lead to enduring values” he said.
