Governor of Delta State.”
The Online publishers added, “as Chief Press Secretary, you
brought your experience as a journalist to bear on the job and
displayed uncanny wisdom in mobilizing journalists in the state and
beyond making Governor Okowa and his administration the focus
of their attention in information dissemination. Being a professional
journalist, you know when to intervene to keep the good reputation
of your boss intact with well crafted and convincing press
statements. We of the Delta Online Publishers Forum (DOPF) recall
in particular that you appeared as our debut guest on DOPF’S
FRONTLINE, the neutral platform designed for critical segments of
the society to share views, create awareness for their programmes,
initiatives and activities.”

Governor in his relationship with journalists and the media in the
state.”

presence, wisdom, guidance and good health in the discharge of
your new assignment.”

Cornelius Ogu, saying: “we identify and share with you in this
moment of grief, and pray that God Almighty grants you and your
beloved wife, and the rest of the family the fortitude to bear this
irreparable loss.”
