Speaking immediately he was presented with the certificate, Governor Okowa, flanked by his wife and his deputy, Otuaro, promised to run a government that would be accountable to the people of the state.

He thanked the people of the state for renewing his mandate, describing the election of March 9 as peaceful, and commended INEC for delivering on its promise to conduct free, fair and credible polls in the state.


The governor, who regretted the loss of four lives in Delta central during the general elections, urged the electoral umpire to ensure that elections are conducted in a manner that it would bring pride to Nigeria world over.

Okowa, while soliciting the continued partnership with Deltans, added that he had a successful first tenure because of the collaboration and participation of the people in his administration.


“We want to re-assure that we will be doing more for the state. We call on all because it requires the participation of the people. We will continue to connect with the people through town hall meetings and other avenues. I appeal for all to cooperate with us in the next four years.

“We cannot do the job alone. With collaborative efforts, partnership, the job will be easier and to the satisfaction of all. In the next four years, we will do much more than we have done in the last four years.
