The foremost pressure group in Delta State, Integrity Group has resolved to partners the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission DESOPADEC, in promoting the MORE Agenda of the Governor Sherriff Oborevwori’s administration.
The Convener and Chairman of Integrity Group, Amb. Oke Idawene made the commitment when he led members of the group on a courtesy visit to, Dr. Charles Olise, the Commissioner representating the Ndokwa East LGA, in DESOPADEC at Ashaka.
According to Idawene; “We are happy and pleased to be here, congratulations on your recent appointment and nomination as patron of Integrity Group MORE ambassadors. Integrity Group is a name synonymous with Governor Sherriff Oborevwori. Many of us started Sherriff movement.
“Sherriff movement started with me because I was the first person to revealed to him that Governor Ifeanyi Okowa will hand over to him, and six months after, Bishop David Oyedippo equally revealed to him that he is the next governor.
“Soon after, Okowa keyed in and that is why we referred to Okowa as a visionary leader because he keyed into God’s vision. Our aim in Integrity Group is to promote the MORE Agenda of Oborevwori through the media. We believe in our vision that is why you are the first patron we are visiting.
Today we are recognising you with an award as agent of growth and development in the state. You are already working that is why we must recognise you to do more, as Ndokwa commissioner you will succeed. We will swim, work and dine with you.”
On his part, Dr. Charles Olise said; “when I saw your group online I knew you people were ready to go places. As a politician and key player in the oil and gas sector, I know what it takes to run an organisations effectively. You must be consistent. I believe in stomach infrastructure because, I empower people a lot. Running group is not easy it requires money. I praise you because it is not easy to run a group.
“I want you to remain firm and focused because time will come people will be etching to support and joined you. Let me also tell you that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will be sworn in as the president very soon, that is what my mind is telling me.
“If you look at the body language of President Bola Amed Tinubu he is already preparing for a rerun election, that is why he chose Godswill Akpabio as the Senate President because when court declares for a rerun, Akpabio from South South will be sworn in as the President of the country and that is why he cannot afford a Senate President from South East or from the Northern part of the country.
“I accept your award and recognition in good faith and I look forward in working with you people. Don’t be discouraged, be consistent.” He added.
