WARRI - The immediate past Governor of delta State, his Excellency, Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan on Monday, paid a private visit to a former lawmaker who represented Warri South constituency in the then Bendel State house of Assembly between 1979-1983, Pa Daniel Pessu. While thanking his excellency for honouring his invitation, Pa Daniel Pessu took time to express his gratitude on behalf of 6 of 30 surviving former lawmakers of the old Bendel State from present Delta State, that the former Governor took care of while he was Governor of delta State. 

Speaking further, Pa Daniel said he requested to see the former number one citizen of delta State because of what he has been reading on the National Dailies. Stressing that, he had read on different Newspapers, Dr Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan's intent to represent Delta South Senatorial at the National Assembly. The nonagenarian said hence the call.

Responding, the immediate past Governor said that, he thought the Visit and call was a private one, but he was astonished seeing the level of reception accorded him. While speaking, he noted that he had not officially come to inform him of his interest, but seconded Papa's assertions and also had to honour the invite considering the fatherly role he has always played. The incoming Senator thanked Pa Daniel Pessu for his support and concern thus far.
