“This is a new dawn for Delta State because our people deserve MORE which we are going to implement to the benefits of all.
“MORE is all about meaningful development, opportunities for all, realistic reforms and enhanced peace and security.

“From Asaba to Warri, Bomadi, Burutu, Kwale, Ughelli, Agbor, Oghara, Koko and all over the state, the joy was palpable and I was even more surprised to get home yesterday to see people from different places partying in my house, celebrating our victory; with this type of joy in the people, we have a mandate to show our appreciation through working hard to improve on the legacies of past PDP-led governments in our state.
