Delta Central Senator Calls For Unity, Hope For A Better State As Delta Celebrates 32 Year Of Creation

The renowned Chartered Accountant, while congratulating Deltans for living together peacefully since its creation on August 27, 1991, from defunct Bendel State by the administration of former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, noted that though the state has experienced some level of development, comparatively Delta is not where she ought to be after 32 years of existence.

He, therefore, charged Deltans to remain steadfast to the ideas and aspirations of our forefathers, noting that the state might not be where we all desired it to be, but there is hope for a progressive and better Delta.

The Delta Central lawmaker in a statement to mark the 32nd anniversary of the creation of Delta State said, “Delta State has come this far because we respected each other as a people, this, has enabled us to live together peacefully as one united people these years.

“So, I want to charge our people to continue to see each other as one united people, we may have some dividing lines as a result of sociopolitical interest, but what unites us as Deltans is greater than what pulls us apart as a people.

“In the past 32 years, we have made progress as a state, however, this is certainly not where we ought to be considering how blessed Delta is in human and natural resources amongst the comity of States in our country.

“Today, Deltans may not have much to celebrate as a people, but if we remain steadfast and committed to the dreams and aspirations of our founding fathers, I am confident that we all shall live to see, a peaceful, united, and progressive Delta that will be an envy of all.

“I wish to congratulate Deltans on this auspicious day of the creation of our dear State as one great people, We should pray and work to bequeath a progressive and better Delta to our upcoming generations.
