“May God’s will be done in Delta State and may it be well with us in Nigeria.”

“God is the source of life and, therefore, we must return all thanks to Him and that is what you have done today.
“I knew Chief Adams way back in 1991 when we were Council chairmen together; he was in the NRC and I was in the SDP and we became friends since then.
“I thank God that today also he continued to remember the things that God had enabled him to do” he added.
