“On behalf of my brother governors and people of the Niger Delta, I thank you for your diplomatic shuttles that led to the resolution of grievances in our region and ended agitations and destruction of oil assets.

“Your Excellency, we are proud of your outstanding accomplishments, uncommon patriotism and humility, which have remained the hallmark of your leadership since you became the vice-president of our great country,’’ he said.

Okowa prayed God to grant Osinbajo good health, wisdom and many more years to serve the country and humanity.
