MY dear governor and brother. In a recent closed-door briefing I referred to you as a man from a very humble background, being the son of a teacher, a headmaster and above all, once a teacher. The above distinguishes you as a learner and a teacher.
That is why your calm composure and empathic disposition to all categories of people, young and old, political allies and opponents, boys and girls in the midst of a pandemic that has frozen and paralysed the socio-economic order of the entire world has been extraordinarily incredible.
Not surprising, they got what they did not bargain for as they were subjected to thorough ridicule by the eminent jurists of the Supreme Court as we saw very senior advocates cringe on their seats while the verdict was being read.

In this regard, I must also commend the Minister of State, Petroleum Resources whose sense of patriotism and humour I have never doubted.
It is also on record that you gathered a select few comprising eminent chiefs, respected elders and opinion leaders to reach out to all aggrieved persons, irrespective of party affiliations, to preach your gospel of reconciliation. Thank God, the land of sacrifice, the theatre of the Ijaw liberation struggles has finally yielded a God-given leadership.
