The Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Defence and member representing Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives, Hon Solomon Ahwinahwi has congratulated  the First Lady of Delta State and Founder of _05 Initiative,_ Dame Edith Okowa on her 57th Birthday.

Ahwinahwi said at 57, the wife of the Delta State Governor, whom he described as the jewel behind the Road Master of Nigeria, has affected so many lives positively in and around the state.

He emphasized that through her pet project, *05 Initiative* , Dame Okowa has treated many sick persons who hitherto could not afford quality health care, let alone for free of charge.

He described her as a humble and God fearing woman noting that her humanitarian gestures have endeared her to many, especially the widows and children who she has readily given her motherly shoulders for them to lean on. He added that  many indigent persons have benefited from her philanthropic gestures.

Hon Ahwinahwi thanked the First Lady for her support to her husband, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, which has translated into the massive development of Delta  State.

He appreciated The Almighty God for  giving her the grace to see another birthday and prayed for her continued sound health in body and mind, more strength and wisdom to remain The Good Wife behind The Successful Governor, *Ekweme* , whose exemplary life of extreme selfless service and enormous contributions to governance and public administration in Delta State is simply second to none.
