  The Convener, Mr Peter Idion who was overwhelmed with joy over the large turn out, took time to list the achievements of Governor Okowa since his assumption of office on May 29, 2015, noting that as a prudent manager, administrator per excellence, grassroot bulldozer and an award winning governor, Okowa is gradually transforming the state to an enviable height not the campaign of calumny and hate being peddled by a confused son of Ika land who does not know what he wants in life and being disgraced by the opposition party where he thought was a party he could use to lunched his trade mark of lies and deceits. The funny part is that, the opposition party does not want him too because of his bad character and Lies. He could not even win his ward in the recent congress by the main  opposition party. He advised the people of Ika land not to follow him on his waste voyage to become a governor since ika land already have an annoited Governor who is doing fantastically well because of his Love for ika people.  He said that the governor as a charismatic, intelligent and focused leader is interested in the well-being of his people(Deltans).

Idion told the members that Governor Okowa is not happy that the people of Ika south still have some PVC's that are yet to be collected from INEC office.
